My dad then also raced and was very successful. He was teammates to Derek Irving and raced against many other great drivers and was a regional champion. I learnt a lot from them, and it was only natural then that I started in Karting and then racing in the regional and national championships,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>29-year-old Rowe, a professional biokineticist who now lives in Cape Town, races for Volkswagen Motorsport South Africa in the Global Touring Car (GTC) series at South Africa\u2019s premier motorsport event, the National Extreme Festival, where drivers race on Dunlop tyres. The Dunlop Racing Service team supports the festival and drivers operating from a fully equipped mobile workshop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOut on the track, those are the best times for us as drivers, with all the support teams that make things run smoothly. The VW team is very fun with loads of banter, but at the same time we are very professional and focussed. There is a very strong relationship between our teammates, and while we\u2019ve had some ups and downs, the team always pulls together. Team spirit is very important, and this is one of the things I love about sport, and I\u2019ve been involved and played tennis and football and other sports. Together, we get things done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rowe and his teammates will be competing in the 2023 GTC Championship kicking off in February at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Johannesburg.<br \/>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the battles on track, and the adrenaline rush before qualifying for races. I must also give a nod to the fans that come through and make the atmosphere around the track special,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his journey that got him here, Rowe said the hardest race he had done was in India.<br \/>\u201cWe raced in 35\u201340-degree Celsius weather with almost 100% humidity against rivals in much faster cars. But we managed to help the India team win the Driver and Team Championship. But of course, there are also highlights, and mine would be performing well with Signature Motorsport finishing second and third in the Polo Cup overall Champ, and second in Juniors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>With tyres one of the most essential parts of the vehicle to keep him safe, Rowe said he prefers a low noise tyre with good pattern and tread for wet weather and off-road driving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to share one quote that\u2019s kept me going in my professional and personal life, whether there are good days or bad days, and that\u2019s keep trying until you get it right. Be optimistic and keep trying. It\u2019s what I\u2019ll be doing out on the track this year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">49<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/keep-trying-a-winning-formula-for-daniel-rowe\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
