ROWE Racing wins the 24 Hours of Nürburgring 2025

Kelvin van der Linde (RSA), Augusto Farfus (BRA), Jesse Krohn (FIN), and Raffaele Marciello (SUI) celebrate their victory.

What a race weekend, what a comeback: due to scheduling conflicts, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO from ROWE Racing was the only BMW M Motorsport vehicle in the top SP9 class at this year’s 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. On top of it, qualifying didn't go as smoothly as desired, with the team starting Saturday's race from 17^th place. But none of that was an obstacle for the BMW M works driver quartet: after 24 hours, the BMW M flag was flying alongside the black and white chequered flag at the finish line. ROWE Racing secured BMW’s 21^st overall victory on the Nordschleife in front of a record crowd of 280,000 spectators.

What an incredible 24-hour race! Although we only competed with one car, we had a fantastic team and amazing drivers.

Andreas Roos, Head of BMW M Motorsport

I had the privilege of driving the formation lap and seeing all these fans. This place is magical. I celebrated my first major victory for BMW M Motorsport here 15 years ago, and to stand here again is something special.
