Germany, Ennepetal, 8th April 2010 – The 38th ADAC Zurich 24-hour race will be held from 13th to 16th May, with BILSTEIN partnering the event both on and off the track. A large number of the racing teams taking part will be relying on BILSTEIN suspension technology. The suspension specialists will once again be in the paddock with their motor sports truck and their attention will be focused on providing technical support for the teams, as well as being the contact point for customers requiring advice. BILSTEIN representative Walter Röhrl will be participating in this year's 24-hour race, and both he and the well-known racing driver Marc Basseng will be guests at the BILSTEIN motor sports truck for an exclusive autographing session before the race, with the exact time being announced on the BILSTEIN stand.

Once again many of the cars lining up for the start of the 24-hour race will be fitted with BILSTEIN shock absorbers, with more BILSTEIN vehicles this time than at last year's event. This year there will be more BILSTEIN vehicles than ever before. In addition to Farnbacher-Racing's Ferrari F430, at least six Audi R8 LMS cars are expected to be competing in the 24-hour round-the-clock pursuit for the Phoenix, Abt Sportsline and Black Falcon teams. BILSTEIN has a further iron in the fire for an overall win in the shape of Mamerow Racing's brand new Porsche GT3 R. Apart from the cars competing for overall victory, the 24-hour race has a further distinguishing feature - the many changes in position in the individual class results. In this race professionals and amateurs battle neck and neck every inch of the way, with the majority of amateurs also relying on BILSTEIN suspension units. The comeback of twice rally world champion Walter Röhrl in a standard Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a special highlight of this year's event. Although electronic suspension systems are not used in the racing cars, Porsche is relying here on BILSTEIN's standard PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) suspension unit.
