Rowe-BMW wins hot Eifel thriller
What a thriller: Rowe-BMW won the 53rd edition of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring and prevailed in an epic duel against the Manthey ‘Grello’. After 141 laps, Brazilian Augusto Farfus, Jesse Krohn from Finland, Swiss Raffaele Marciello and Kelvin van der Linde from South Africa had a 1:17.810-minute lead over the #911 Porsche driven by Frenchman Kevin Estre, Ayhancan Güven from Turkey and Austrian Thomas Preining. Although the ‘Grello’ crew crossed the finish line in first place, they still incurred a time penalty of 1:40 minutes. Manthey had lodged a protest against the penalty, but this was rejected by the stewards shortly before the end of the race.

That's it for the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring! In the end, the ultra-exciting duel between Manthey and Rowe on and off (!) the track dominated the action, but the 280,000 spectators over the weekend also saw other thrilling motorsport action. Despite an early forced break, the event was, above all, a great advertisement for endurance racing on the most beautiful and longest race track in the world, with perfect summer conditions. Here are the news and comments from the final hour of the race. #19 Leuchter / Kristoffersen / Hammel / Otto (VW Golf GTI Clubsport 24h) 4:22 p.m.: The winner of the AT3 also comes from the "Max Kruse Racing" team.

23 hours of racing are complete and everything is still up for grabs. In the battle for the overall lead, Manthey #911 and Rowe #98 continue to duel for the lead, while at the same time the Manthey team is protesting the sporting penalty (+100 seconds) imposed by the race director. Temperatures are high, but the expected tire damage has largely failed to materialize. Many teams are now taking it easier in order to reach the finish line safely. #8 Veremenko / SELV / Erhart / Kaffer (Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II)

The 20th and 21st hours of this year's 24h Nürburgring remain turbulent. Many drivers report hardly a single lap without Code 60 or double yellow zones after their stint. The battle for the lead also remains dramatic: after a thorough investigation of the incident, race director Walter Hornung decides at 12:46 p.m. to impose a 100-second penalty on Kevin Estre (#911) for “causing a collision.” In the close battle for the overall lead between Manthey #911 and Rowe #98, the BMW M4 GT3 had just overtaken the “Grello” 911 for the first time. Who will come out on top in the end is now a matter of calculation – the outcome remains open.
