After 15 years of motorsport at the highest level, ROWE Racing enters its 16th season with a clear ambition more focus, more fire and an unbroken hunger for success.

As the Official Distributor of ROWE Germany in Malaysia, we are proud to follow the journey of ROWE Racing, the factory-backed racing team that continues to challenge the limits of performance, endurance and engineering on some of Europe’s most demanding circuits.

A New Season. A New Identity.
The 2026 season marks a new chapter for ROWE Racing, with a refreshed visual identity designed to bring the racing car and the ROWE brand even closer together. The BMW M4 GT3 EVO returns in a striking ROWE Red design. More than just a colour, ROWE Red represents the passion, speed, precision, teamwork and performance that define the ROWE Racing identity. The new design reflects 15 years of experience while looking firmly towards the challenges of the 16th season.
ROWE RACING – One Team. One Goal.

The Weapon: BMW M4 GT3 EVO
For the 2026 racing season, ROWE Racing continues its GT racing programme with the BMW M4 GT3 EVO. The car combines the performance and precision required at the highest level of GT racing with the endurance and reliability demanded by long-distance competition. For the 2026 GT World Challenge Endurance Cup, ROWE Racing will compete with two BMW M4 GT3 EVO race cars, each representing a different challenge within the championship.

GT World Challenge Endurance Cup: Two Cars. Six Drivers. One Goal.
For the 2026 GT World Challenge Endurance Cup, ROWE Racing will field two cars with a six-driver line-up.
#98 BMW M4 GT3 EVO

• Augusto Farfus – Brazil
• Raffaele Marciello – Switzerland
• Jake Dennis – Great Britain

#998 BMW M4 GT3 EVO – Gold Cup

• Jens Klingmann – Germany
• Tim Tramnitz – Germany
• Ugo de Wilde – Belgium

The #998 programme forms part of a targeted mentoring programme with BMW M Motorsport, with the car competing in the Gold Cup to support the development of young racing talent. With two cars, six drivers and one shared objective, ROWE Racing aims to fight for the top positions throughout the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup season.
Note: Driver line-ups may vary depending on the individual racing programme and event.

2026 GT World Challenge Endurance Cup
The 2026 GT World Challenge Endurance Cup will take ROWE Racing to some of Europe’s most challenging GT endurance circuits:

• 11.04.2026 | Circuit Paul Ricard – Le Castellet, France
• 31.05.2026 | Monza – Italy
• 27–28.06.2026 | CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa – Belgium
• 30.08.2026 | Nürburgring – Germany
• 18.10.2026 | Portimão – Portugal

 Each round presents a different challenge, demanding consistency, precision, teamwork and reliability from both drivers and machinery.

Another Major Challenge: Nürburgring 24 Hours
Alongside its GT World Challenge Endurance Cup programme, ROWE Racing will also take on the legendary 24 Hours of Nürburgring. The 2026 programme includes the 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers on 18–19 April, followed by the 24 Hours of Nürburgring on 16–17 May. The Nürburgring 24 Hours remains one of the most demanding endurance races in motorsport, putting drivers, cars and technology through an extraordinary test of speed, endurance and reliability. For ROWE Racing, the Nürburgring represents another major challenge within its 2026 motorsport programme separate from its GT World Challenge Endurance Cup campaign.

A New Goal for ROWE Racing
The 2026 season also represents an important strategic step for ROWE Racing. After years of placing particular emphasis on the 24 Hours of Spa, where the team has achieved three victories and five podium finishes, ROWE Racing is now setting its sights on winning the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup for the first time.  The objective is clear: to bring the level of performance demonstrated at Spa to every race throughout the championship season, rather than focusing on a single major event. This marks an important new chapter for the team with the ambition to deliver consistent performance across the entire season.

Racing Under Extreme Conditions
For ROWE Racing, motorsport is more than competition. The racetrack provides an exceptionally demanding environment in which performance, endurance and lubricant technology can be tested under extreme conditions. High temperatures, heavy loads and continuous engine stress create challenges that help ROWE evaluate and further develop its lubrication technology. ROWE explains that findings from its “driving laboratory” are used to research new lubricants and optimise existing formulations, making motorsport an important part of its approach to lubricant development.

From the Racetrack to the Road
The experience gained through ROWE Racing forms an important part of the ROWE philosophy: technology developed and tested under demanding conditions should ultimately deliver confidence beyond the racetrack. While ROWE Racing continues to challenge the limits on Europe’s most demanding circuits, ROWE HIGHTEC lubricants bring German engineering, advanced formulations and dependable engine protection to drivers on the road.

For us, racing is not simply about winning. It is about continuous development, engineering excellence and pushing performance further.

2026: The Next Chapter Begins
With a new visual identity, BMW M4 GT3 EVO race cars, a new driver line-up for the GT World Challenge Endurance Cup and a renewed championship ambition, ROWE Racing enters its 16th season ready for the next challenge. From Le Castellet to Monza, Spa, Nürburgring and Portimão, every race represents another opportunity to compete, develop and pursue performance at the highest level.
