ROWE MINERALÖLWERK extends its cooperation with the VLN endurance championship Nürburgring for another three years. The independent lubricant manufacturer from Worms, Rhineland-Palatinate, has been official sponsor of this worldwide biggest grassroots series since 2009. As a visible expression of the partnership, all the participating race cars will continue to display the letters “ROWE MOTOR OIL” on the start number panels.
“I am very happy that ROWE continues its great commitment in the VLN. Since one decade, ROWE has been an integral part of the VLN and is involved with great passion. They belong to our family”, says Dietmar Busch, Managing Director of the VLN VV GmbH & Co. KG.
Oliver Kornisch, ROWE Head of Marketing, says in relation to the partnership extension: “We are looking forward very much to the continuation of our successful cooperation. The VLN is one of the most popular motorsport series. Both the teams and the fans are really passionate about what they do. The VLN provides a perfect platform for the products of our company.”
In addition to the engagement as sponsor, ROWE also uses the VLN to test and develop high-performance lubricants. Since 2011, ROWE has been competing in the series at the legendary Nordschleife with its own racing team “ROWE RACING” and since 2016 as works-supported BMW team with the M6 GT3.
This season, ROWE has moreover upgraded the “ROWE Speed-Trophy by VLN” which was introduced in 2013. A total prize money at the amount of 25,000 euros will be awarded to the top teams.
