Ody The Falcon

From the Nest to the Nürburgring

GT Omega Welcomes Ody The Falcon

Odysseus P. Falcon is the official SpokesBird of GT Omega. A lifelong Thrillseeker and lover of all things fast, Ody is the first peregrine falcon to break the 24-hour record for Le Mans. When he’s resting his wings, he doesn’t slow down, jumping into his cockpit and racing round the world’s best tracks. This time from the ground.

"No one has ever had fun standing still"

— Ody The Falcon

What got you into racing?

You don’t get known for having the fastest flight speed without racing other birds. Racing isn’t just in my family. It’s in my species.

What is your goal for this year?

The same as every year: Faster, Further, Never Slow Down.

What is your favourite track?

The next one.

How does your GT Omega cockpit help you in training?

Spending most of my time in Scotland, I can’t fly as much as I’d like (too much rain in my feathers) so having a racing set up is great for keeping my reflexes sharp. Even if it’s a bit tricky getting my talons on the pedals...
