Munich/Magny-Cours. With an outstanding fourth place in the Superstock Class, the new BMW S 1000 RR proved its prowess at the 73rd Bol d’Or race in Magny-Cours. The very near-series bike impressively demonstrated its capabilities over the 24-hour racing distance.
The bike raced by the BMW Team „BMW Sikora Bily Prorace“ and its riders Ireneusz Sikora, Thomas Polmiksovsky and Milos Czechihak under the direction of the Witec company was a purebred series production machine from the current endurance testing programme. Only a 24-litre tank for rapid fuelling, an Akrapocić racing exhaust system and a number of mounting parts for the prestigious 24-hour race had been fitted.
In this 24-hour classic, the new S 1000 RR also impressively proved the racing suitability of the DTC Dynamic Traction Control as well as of the Race ABS.
Gerhard Lindner, BMW Motorrad testing director:
„The S 1000 RR not only demonstrated its stability under
these tough conditions, but also how much the Race ABS and the new DTC
Dynamic Traction Control support the riders. The S 1000 RR is the only
series production motorcycle in the world to offer two regulation
systems which define the new yardstick for braking safety and
acceleration even under racing conditions, especially on such
extremely long and exhausting distances.”
