ROWE RACING
ONE TEAM. ONE GOAL.

FROM THE RACETRACK TO THE SHELF

ROWE is involved in motorsport not just out of passion for the sport or for a good image, but because no test is more realistic than out on the race track. We therefore use the findings from our “driving laboratory” to research new lubricants and to optimize existing formulations. With ROWE RACING, we achieve what cannot be recreated in any laboratory in the world: the practical test under extreme conditions.

One example: in 2017, we drove a total of 158 laps of the Nürburgring circuit in the BMW M6 GT3 during the 24-hour race. 4,100 kilometers in one day. In everyday traffic, you would have to chase a normal car 82,000 kilometers through the streets in a very short time. Extreme tests like these provide ROWE with valuable data for optimizing its own product range.

Thanks to our own research and development department, we can immediately put new findings into practice and then test our products on the racetrack for their resilience and performance - flexibly, quickly and reliably.

Passion for motorsport creates real added value for customers

ROWE RACING was founded in 2011 for racing on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife and has developed into one of the best and most successful endurance teams in the world in less than ten years. The preliminary highlight was the double victory in the two 24-hour classics at the Nürburgring and in Spa in 2020 - within just four weeks and as the only team in the GT3 era with two different manufacturers. The team's main focus has always been on endurance racing, but especially on the extreme challenge of the 24-hour races. “The more difficult the situation and the greater the stress, the more ROWE RACING can shine,” says Team Principal Hans-Peter Naundorf.

With the “driving laboratory”, ROWE researches new lubricants, optimizes formulations and achieves what cannot be recreated in any laboratory in the world: the practical test under extreme conditions. By transferring technology from the race track to the shelf, ROWE succeeds in making products even better. Highest quality standards, customer satisfaction and enthusiasm for motorsport in absolute harmony.

HOMEBASE

Motorsport Competence Group AG, which was founded in 2011 by former DTM engineer Hans-Peter Naundorf, is responsible for ROWE RACING's racing activities. MCG AG employs 35 full-time and part-time staff at the team headquarters and at the racetrack. For particularly labor-intensive events such as a 24-hour race, the team strength is increased to more than 40 members.

PROJECTS

MCG AG has made a name for itself with various projects in motorsport, with ROWE RACING being the main field of activity. However, the company also helps with the reliable implementation of various contract projects for other customers.

LOCATION

The home of MCG AG is a building complex in St. Ingbert in Saarland, which offers 31600 m² of usable space following recent renovations and extensions. The new company headquarters, built when the team was founded, was specially designed to meet the needs of modern motorsport and is conveniently located less than 150 kilometers from the two traditional 24-hour race tracks Nürburgring and Spa. The centerpiece is a modern vehicle hall in which up to six racing vehicles can be worked on at the same time. A team of mechanics with motorsport experience builds racing cars here using state-of-the-art equipment and prepares them for racing. There are also in-house gearbox and carbon fiber workshops as well as a department for the design and production of vehicle decals.
