After celebrating a successful start to the 2020 season last weekend, the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) now has more good news from the Nordschleife (GER). As of the next event of this season, to be held as a double header on 11th and 12th July, teams can contest the ‘BMW M2 CS Racing VLN class’.
BMW M Customer Racing teams should actually have been in action around the world for a number of weeks already. However, the global coronavirus pandemic has meant a longer winter break than anticipated. In a new series, we report on how the BMW M Customer Racing teams have spent this enforced break and how they have prepared for the start of their racing series in these unusual times. First up is Borusan Otomotiv Motorsport from Istanbul (TUR).
On Tuesday, drivers from BMW M Customer Racing teams had the opportunity to take to the track with sim racing pros at the first BMW Motorsport SIM Racing Track Day on the iRacing platform, and gain further experience in the discipline in the digital BMW M4 GT4.
The rider planning of the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team for the 2021 season in the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) is taking shape. New to the team is 27-year-old Dutchman Michael van der Mark, who will contest his first season on the BMW S 1000 RR in 2021.

It has been a long time since the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team and riders Tom Sykes (GBR) and Eugene Laverty (IRL) were last on a racetrack together. The season opener of the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) at the start of March was followed by an enforced break lasting several months due to coronavirus. Now the team and riders have been able to return to the track with the BMW S 1000 RR. Last week, Sykes and Laverty tested at Lausitzring (GER).
After a break of over five months, BMW Team RLL will restart the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IMSA) at the weekend. Round two of the season will be held at ‘Daytona International Speedway’ (USA). In every other case, the upcoming race would be the singular focus for the team, but all the thoughts of BMW Team RLL and the entire BMW family are now with Alessandro Zanardi (ITA).
