Satellite owner Matt Strand and Nick first met at the ALMS Petit Le Mans event in 
October of 2011. Nick signed up as part of Satellite shortly after.

Sim Racing since 2006, Nick brings a wealth of experience with him to the team. 
In addition to his contributions to Satellite, Nick also ran his own successful 
Sim Racing team, Midnight Motorsport between 2011 and 2016. 

​

Being able to use his technical knowledge for setup work has been pivotal in many 
of our races since bringing Nick onboard.

With rFactor, Nick's notable Sim Racing exploits include being the runner up in the 
SimInk 2012 Superleague Drivers Championship, where he finished on the podium in 13 
of the 18 championship rounds, winning twice.  He and Midnight Motorsport teammate 
Lukas Euler were dominant in the constructors’ championship, combining to win the 
title by a significant margin.  As manager of Midnight Motorsport, Nick steered the 
team to success in 2013, where they repeated their 2012 dominance, once again taking 
the drivers and constructors championships.

2013 also saw Nick expand his Sim Racing driving career even further after landing a 
“professional” ride with Precision Motorsports. Rowland remained a Satellite member 
and continued to contribute to the teams growing success.

Nick was the 2015 iRacing Season 3 Division 3 Skip Barber Race Series Champion, and 
was involved with the Positive SimRacing Driver Development Programme in 2017.

A keen motorsport enthusiast, Nick can also be found behind the wheel in the real 
world, having raced a number of 24-hour karting events, and most recently was a grand 
finalist in the 2017 and 2018 Ginetta Want2Race Competition.
