A successful partnership: MANN-FILTER and the tankpool24 Racing Team
Throughout the entire truck season, MANN-FILTER has accompanied the determined tankpool24 Racing Team around Steffen Faas. For years, the 40-year-old has not only been the driver of the MANN-FILTER yellow-green branded Scania Racing Truck, but also the team's manager for the racing activities. Together, the racing team and the global premium brand have already achieved some successes this year. In the first three events, Faas managed to finish on the podium on several occasions. The team is currently in second place in the Chrome ranking.
Steffen Faas is looking forward to the event with great excitement:
"The upcoming race weekend at Nürburgring promises to be truly thrilling as the halfway point of the season. My personal goal is to collect additional, important points in the fight for the title in the Chrome Championship. My racing team and I will be giving our all for a sporting success. We expect three exciting days of motorsport accompanied by a unique festival atmosphere. I'm sure that fans and visitors will witness a great, action-packed event and that we can offer them an unforgettable show all round. We have a strong team and are working hard to delight visitors with new surprises again this year. It will definitely be an exciting weekend with many highlights on and off the race track. We are ready for the challenges ahead!"

In addition to four racing events and a festival atmosphere surrounding the paddock, MANN-FILTER will also be making a big splash in the paddock itself: in the yellow and green hospitality space, the filtration brand will be presenting its product portfolio and has invited customers from all over Europe to exchange ideas. MANN+HUMMEL, owner of the premium brand, is not only just one of the world’s leading filter manufacturers, but also the world’s largest manufacturer of air dryer cartridges. These are always the choice when reliable protection of compressed-air systems is a must. The product range for the automotive aftermarket includes a wide range of MANN-FILTER air dryer cartridges in original equipment quality.
MANN-FILTER focuses on quality in its products and tests the filters in detail. In motorsport, where precision is key and racing vehicles are exposed to the toughest conditions, the reliability and top quality of the products used becomes apparent
“No matter what our customers' requirements are, we have the right MANN-FILTER air dryer cartridge in original equipment quality for almost any demand,” says Filippina Manou, who is responsible for sponsorship and is inviting existing and prospective customers to valuable meetings to share ideas during the weekend.
A racing event with a multifaceted agenda
The entire weekend offers a comprehensive agenda for young and old, fans and partners. In addition to exciting races on the track, there are also numerous events and highlights away from the race itself.
Filippina Manou sums up the spectacular plans:
"As a highlight event of the series, the Nürburgring Truck Grand Prix attracts both racing enthusiasts and industry partners. A varied program awaits both customers and fans. In addition to the impressive racing action with a huge amount of horsepower, you can also find out about the latest news from the truck industry. And let's not forget to mention the night spectacle on Nordschleife, where fireworks, vehicle parades, and light and stage shows will fill the weekend. We look forward to welcoming our customers on site and offering them exclusive insights with the tankpool24 Racing Team. We also have numerous new products and product training sessions in store. Calling all fans: in the usual MANN-FILTER style, there will also be paddock activities that will bring you some 'yellow joy.' See you at the Ring!"
