New BMW Motorrad plans on customer racing scene
BMW Motorrad is all geared up for a successful future on the customer racing scene. In the course of the strategic realignment of BMW Motorrad, the global customer racing programme is being restructured and expanded for the 2014 season.
In the future, BMW Motorrad will support private BMW teams and riders in a versatile manner. This includes on-site support at the circuit for those running the BMW S 1000 RR and BMW HP4 in national and international series, training workshops for engineers and technicians at private teams, and special racing packages for engines and electronics. Berthold Hauser will take overall technical responsibility for the customer racing project as the new Technical Director BMW Motorrad Motorsport.
Over the last five years, BMW Motorrad Motorsport has established itself as one of the top teams in the FIM Superbike World Championship. To date, BMW Motorrad Motorsport has claimed 12 wins and 41 podiums in the premier league of production-based motorcycles. At the same time as its factory involvement in the Superbike World Championship, BMW Motorrad has also been running a customer racing programme for three years. In the future, BMW Motorrad customer teams all over the world will be able to benefit even more from the manufacturer's vast wealth of experience at the pinnacle of international racing.
