The level of competition in the ALMS GT2 category has been on the rise in recent years with more and more manufacturers joining the fray. The category boasts entries from Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Corvette, Ford and this year, Jaguar.
Joining such a competitive class may intimidate some teams, but Team Falken strives on high levels of competition and their D1 drifting results speak for themselves.2010
marks Falken's first full season entry into the world of sports car racing.
The company first dabbled in le mans style racing in 2008, supplying
tires and funding to a Ford GT team. 2009 saw Falken form their
own team around the proven Porsche GT3 RSR platform and
competed in 3 races. The team has committed to a full season of racing
this year and logged many miles on new tire compounds over the winter break. Their pace in the early rounds of 2010 definitely speaks very strongly for their level of commitment.
The team also has the benefit of having two very experienced drivers in Wolf Henzler and Bryan Sellers. Bryan was kind enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions.
