Blancpain GT Series: ROWE Racing again represented by two BMW
M6 GT3s.
In 2017, the ROWE Racing team will be competing with two BMW M6 GT3s
once again in the Blancpain GT Series. There are ten race weekends in
the season, covering the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup and the
Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup. The highlight of the season is the
24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (BEL), where the team emerged triumphant
with the BMW M6 GT3 last year and celebrated its greatest success to
date. The driver line-ups for the two BMW M6 GT3s are to be announced
in the coming weeks. “Our big goal for 2017 is obviously to defend our
title at the Spa 24 Hours,” said team principal Hans-Peter Naundorf.
“It would be a dream come true for us to repeat last year’s win. We
are still in the process of finalising the driver line-ups for our two
BMW M6 GT3s, however, we are very confident that we will once again be
able to field very fast and experienced teams of drivers, just as we
did last year.” On 13th/14th March, the team will be taking part in
pre-season tests for the Blancpain GT Series at Paul Ricard, in the
south of France. The season starts on 1st April with the first race of
the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup in Misano (ITA). The 24 Hours of
Spa-Francorchamps will take place on 29th/30th July. In addition to
competing in the Blancpain GT Series, ROWE Racing will also be
represented by both BMW M6 GT3s in the famous 24-hour race at the
Nürburgring (GER), which will take place on 27th and 28th May.
