ROWE Racing Secures Historic Second Nürburgring 24h Win Amid Dramatic Finish On June 22, 2025, ROWE Racing claimed its second overall victory at the ADAC 24h Nürburgring, a historic win that marked BMW’s 21st triumph at the iconic endurance race. The #98 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, driven by Augusto Farfus, Jesse Krohn, Raffaele Marciello, and Kelvin van der Linde, took the top spot after a dramatic finish—securing the win when the leading Manthey EMA Porsche was handed a 100-second penalty for contact with a GT4 car, a protest against which was rejected. A record 280,000 spectators watched the intense battle unfold in scorching Eifel heat, with red flags, strategic twists, and late-race tension defining the event. For Farfus, it was his second Nürburgring 24h win, while van der Linde claimed his third; Marciello and Krohn notched their first victories at the Nordschleife. ROWE Racing Team Principal Hans-Peter Naundorf emphasized the team’s focus on consistency: “It wasn’t the fastest car that won, but the one that made the fewest mistakes. That was us, and we’re proud of that.” The win added to ROWE’s 2020 Nürburgring triumph, solidifying its status as a top endurance racing force.
