ROWE RACING AIMS FOR A FOURTH TITLE AT THE 24 HOURS OF SPA

When the green lights come on and the engines roar to life, the ‘24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps’ marks a return for the ROWE RACING team to the highlight of the GT World Challenge Europe season. As three-time winners, the team returns to the circuit this weekend, where endurance, precision and passion are put to the test to the very limit. Guided by the motto ‘Champions never rest’, we have set ourselves a clear goal: to attack, achieve results and continue to make history. Following a confident performance at the Nürburgring, the anticipation is growing ever more palpable – a new chapter now awaits us on the biggest stage in GT racing.

Two cars, six drivers – maximum competitiveness

ROWE RACING is once again fielding a strong and high-profile line-up of drivers at Spa: in the #98, Augusto Farfus (BRA), Raffaele Marciello (SUI) and Jake Dennis (GBR) will be steering the BMW M4 GT3 EVO through the Ardennes rollercoaster. Jens Klingmann (GER), Tim Tramnitz (GER) and Ugo de Wilde (BEL) will be competing in one of the world’s most prestigious endurance races in the #998. Both trios have proven their capabilities this season. In Belgium, everything will now have to fall into place for them to achieve that big win.

"CHAMPIONS NEVER REST" — BACK FOR ANOTHER 24-HOUR PERFORMANCE

True champions never rest on their laurels. They constantly set themselves new challenges — uncompromisingly, with determination and the ambition to prove their achievements time and time again. The 24-hour race at Spa is the perfect arena for this: 24 hours of extreme strain on man and machine in the harshest conditions motorsport has to offer — lap after lap, hour after hour.

As three-time champions, we take to the starting grid with a clear mindset: top results are not a one-off achievement, but a promise that must be fulfilled time and time again – only together can we rise to this challenge.

Find out right now what makes true champions

Hardly any race is as closely associated with success for ROWE RACING as the 24 Hours of Spa. Three wins and two second places in the past ten years speak for themselves and show that we know what it takes there. At the same time, the last two editions have shown us how narrow the margin is at this race: twice we were close to another top result, twice we just missed out. Our ambition is clear: we want to compete with both cars in the leading group and fight for podium places. While the 24 Hours at the Nürburgring is an extreme challenge for the drivers due to the track, traffic and the large speed differences between classes, Spa mainly challenges the team in every single position. Strategy, responsiveness, concentration and precision must be at the highest level for 24 hours. This is exactly the kind of race we work for. These are exactly the challenges we love in motorsport.
