BMW Announces S1000RR Racer Support and Contingency Programs for 2017

BMW Motorrad USA is offering current and prospective racers even greater incentives to compete on its flagship BMW S1000RR superbike this year. Over $1 million in contingency money is offered for racers piloting a 2015, 2016 or 2017 model year S1000RR in several 2017 national and international race series.

“We are excited to roll out an enhanced contingency program that will cover more race series to reinforce our commitment to supporting privateer BMW motorcycle racers,” commented Sarah Schilke, National Marketing Manager, BMW Motorrad USA.

In addition to the improved contingency program, BMW is again offering the racer support purchase incentive on the S1000RR. Racers licensed in any of the BMW supported contingency program series can apply for the support program through their authorized BMW Motorrad dealer. The program is limited to 20 racers for 2017.

"BMW Motorrad is providing riders with all the tools they need to succeed on the racetrack — a class leading liter bike at a substantial savings, with the added incentive of HP Race Parts!" observed Professional Racer Nate Kern, who will serve as a BMW Motorrad Motorsports Advisor at MotoAmerica and regional series races this year. “New for 2017, certified BMW HP Race Engineer, Steve Weir, has been brought on board to further enhance our supported racers’ success."

BMW Motorrad’s Contingency Program is managed online via XTRM Performance Network, which provides real time distribution and management of contingency money payouts, results tracking and social media marketing. Racers piloting a 2015, 2016 or 2017 S 1000 RR can enroll by logging onto the website, where they can cash in on their performance.

For racers who want to get on board an S1000RR this year, BMW Motorrad is offering a limited Racer Support Program offering substantial savings on a 2016 BMW S1000RR with Race Package and HP Race Power Kit, as well as a monetary rider incentive. Racers holding current licenses for race series included in the contingency program and who have earned top finishes in those series are eligible to apply for the program at their local authorized BMW Motorrad USA dealer.

BMW Motorrad also offers MotoAmerica racers the opportunity to shine on an international level with the international BMW Motorrad Race Trophy. The Race Trophy provides a platform for racers piloting an S1000RR, HP4 or a sidecar with BMW engine, to compete at venues around the world. The BMW Motorrad Race Trophy 2017 is comprised of 20 championships that stage around 280 races in 25 countries on six continents.
