BMW Motorrad is the first manufacturer to offer an racing project with a common points system for private riders on every continent with the introduction of the BMW Motorrad Race Trophy.
Entry is open to BMW Motorrad privateers appearing in various international and national championships all over the world. They score points towards the BMW Motorrad Race Trophy based on their individual results.
At the end of the year, the world’s best BMW Motorrad privateer will be crowned. A total prize purse of 100,000 Euros is up for grabs in the BMW Motorrad Race Trophy. Entry is free.
The competition has received a huge response within the global BMW Motorrad Motorsport community. In the first two weeks since the official launch, 28 privateer BMW Motorrad riders have already registered for the BMW Motorrad Race Trophy. They come from 11 different countries in Europe, Asia and South America.
The season is already underway in some series, including the FIM Superbike World Championship, the FIM Endurance World Championship and the FIM Sidecar World Championship, as well as some national superbike championships.
In these series, races have already been run in a total of ten countries on five continents. In other championships, such as the Canadian Superbike Championship, the season is yet to begin.
