This year’s Nurburgring 24-hour race is coming up fast and this weekend, the teams that have already signed up for it will be racing to establish the starting positions on the grid. The six-hour qualifying race is set to take place this Sunday and BMW announced it will be fielding no less than seven M6 GT3 cars in the 49th edition of the Eifel Marathon. That’s right, seven M6 GT3 cars will be racing this weekend for a good position on the starting grid of the race that’s bound to take place between 5 and 6 June.
ROWE Racing will have two cars in the event, cars number 1 (formerly #99) and number 98. The #1 car will be driven by Nick Catsburg, Nick Yelloly as well as John Edwards and Phillip Eng. The former two were among the driver line-up that won the race back in 2020, the 20th title for BMW in this historic race. Driving the other ROWE Racing car will be BMW works drivers Connor De Phillippi, Martin Tomczyk, Sheldon van der Linde and Marco Wittmann.
