Woodcliff Lake, NJ - October 18, 2007... BMW Motorrad's 450cc sports enduro
prototype will make it first U.S. appearance at the GNCC (Grand National Cross
Country) race in Crawfordsville, Indiana October 27-28. Former motocross
world champion Simo Kirssi -- the lone BMW entrant -- will compete in the class
of Pro Bikes in a 3-hour race from 1:00 to 4:00 pm on the 28th.
The talented Finn rode the sports enduro prototype to its first-ever victory in
its most recent appearance in the final round of the 2007 European Cross
Country Championship, held in Schefflenz, Germany, October 6-7. The on-going
development of the production bike has been widely viewed by the public
throughout the off-road racing season in Europe, but the new enduro has never
made tire tracks on American soil.
The AMA/ATVA-sanctioned Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series is America's
premier off-road racing series. The 13-round race series stretches through the
eastern U.S., beginning with the season-opener in Florida in March and
concludes with the season-finale in Indiana in October.
Berti Hauser, head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, is hoping for another cross
country victory across the pond. "We've demonstrated that our sports enduro
concept not only works, but is capable of winning races," he reported. "Now,
we have raised the bar to aim for consistent top performance."
