ROWE Racing Secures Second Place

ROWE Racing Secures Second Place at 51st ADAC 24h Nürburgring with Spectacular Comeback On June 22, 2025, ROWE Racing’s #98 BMW M4 GT3 delivered a stunning performance at the 51st ADAC 24h Nürburgring, climbing from 31st on the grid to finish second behind the winning Frikadelli Ferrari. This marks the team’s third podium in four years, following a 2020 victory and 2021 second place. In front of a record 235,000 fans, DTM champions Marco Wittmann, Sheldon van der Linde, and Belgians Maxime Martin, Dries Vanthoor (2024 race winner) steadily advanced. Vanthoor, the final driver, cut the gap to the winner to 26.911 seconds. The race also set a new distance record: 162 laps (4,111.236 km), three more than 2014 and 2022. Unfortunately, the #99 BMW retired after a collision while lapping a slow car. Team Principal Hans-Peter Naundorf praised the “flawless” driver effort, calling the comeback “a great achievement.”
