Munich. Last week the new version of the BMW Motorrad BoxerCup promoted by Wilbers saw its premiere at Lausitzring – and the series got off to an excellent start. All riders compete on identical BMW R nineT Racer machines, so gripping neck-and-neck duels are guaranteed. On the first racing weekend there were 13 riders out to collect points. Even in the qualifying sessions, podium positions were separated by mere hundredths of a second. The race itself saw riders battling it out for places, promising huge excitement for the remaining five racing events, which will definitely be worth attending.

Equal conditions for everyone.

In the BoxerCup, teams line up on technical identical BMW R nineT Racer machines which have been modified for use on the race track. All bikes have the same modifications, including Wilbers fork alteration and shock absorbers, Ilmberger cylinder head covers, engine spoiler and tail panel, Akrapovič sports silencer and titanium manifold, BMW Motorrad ABS with racing software, Gilles Tooling footrest system with shift reverse option and Dunlop tyres. As such, victory or defeat is determined solely by the rider’s skills, courage – and a little bit of luck.

International riders.

With riders from Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the USA, the Cup is international in format right from the outset. In addition to racing newcomers and experienced amateurs, “old warhorses” from the motorcycle racing scene such as Harald Kitsch and Nate Kern have also signed up. Another entrant who is always good for a surprise is Christof “Fifty” Höfer, well-known blogger and 2017 winner of the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Cup.

Exciting premiere at Lausitzring.

As things turned out, these were the very names that left their mark at the Lausitzring premiere. The two riders of Team Wunderlich Motorsport – Chris Höfer (GER) and Nate Kern (USA) – proved unbeatable. Höfer finished first in both heats, while team colleague Nate Kern (USA) came in second on each occasion – a perfect double victory. Third place on the podium went to Marvin Jürgens (GER / Team Motorsport Burgdorf) on both occasions.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
