Munich (DE), 14th September 2016. The winning streak of the BMW S
1000 RR in the Superstock class of the British Superbike Championship
(BSB STK) continues: at Oulton Park (GB), Joshua Elliott (GB) and Adam
Jenkinson (GB) claimed a one-two for the Bavarian racing machine.
There was also a stunning success in the SuperBike Series Brasil
(BSRBK) in Curitiba (BR). On his first appearance on the RR, Diego
Pierluigi (AR) was unbeatable and rode to victory. In total, the BMW
Motorrad Motorsport riders where in action on three continents, as
they also took to the track in the MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American
Road Racing Series (AMA) at the New Jersey Motorsports Park (US). With
their results, the riders also collected further points towards the
2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy (see full standings below).
British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park, Great Britain.
For the ninth round of the 2016 British Superbike Championship (BSB),
the BMW teams and the engineers from BMW Motorrad Motorsport travelled
to the traditional Oulton Park (GB) circuit last weekend. In the
Superbike class (BSB SBK), three races were held, one on Saturday and
two on Sunday. Richard Cooper (GB / Buildbase BMW Motorrad) was the
highest placed BMW rider in race one, finishing sixth. Michael Laverty
(GB / Tyco BMW Motorrad Racing) finished eighth, Lee Jackson (GB /
Buildbase BMW Motorrad) in tenth also made it into the top ten. In the
second race, two BMW racers made it into the top ten. Jake Dixon (GB /
Royal Air Force Regular Reserve) was eighth and Ryuichi Kyionari
(JP), who will contest the remainder of the season on the BMW S 1000
RR of Smiths Racing BMW, finished tenth. In the third race it was then
Laverty’s turn to reach the finish as the highest placed BMW rider,
crossing the line in fourth. Cooper was sixth, Jackson eighth and
Christian Iddon (GB / Tyco BMW Motorrad Racing) ninth.
In the Superstock class (BSB STK), ten races have been held so far
this season – and on eight occasions victory went to a BMW S 1000 RR
rider. At Oulton Park it was again a battle of the BMW racers for the
win. In the end, Joshua Elliott (GB / Tyco BMW Motorrad Racing) took
his first victory of the season. The one-two was completed by Adam
Jenkinson (GB / NEI Motorsport), who celebrated his first podium
finish. In total, eight RRs finished in the top ten. Places four to
eight went to Michael Rutter (GB / Bathams SMT), Chrissy Rouse (GB /
CECS / Mission Racing), Ashley Beech (GB / Jones-Dorling Racing), Alex
Olsen (GB / Power Projects Racing) and Dominic Usher (GB / ONE7R /
Formwise). Leon Jeacock (GB / Geo E Davies Racing) crossed the line in
tenth. Until the very last corner the race was led by Taylor Mackenzie
(GB / Buildbase BMW Motorrad) and Ian Hutchinson (GB / Tyco BMW
Motorrad), but the duo crashed when battling for the win. In the BSB
STK championship standings, Mackenzie is still in the lead with 178
points, followed by Hutchinson with 155 points.
SuperBike Series Brasil at Curitiba, Brazil.
Diego Pierluigi (AR) made a stunning debut on the BMW Motorrad Alex
Barros Racing BMW S 1000 RR. The Argentinian will race for the team
for the remainder of the 2016 season in the SuperBike Series Brasil
(BRSBK). At the sixth round, held last weekend at Curitiba (BR),
Pierluigi had his first appearance on the bike – and he was
unbeatable. He secured pole position, set a new lap record and won the
race with an advantage of over six seconds.
His team-mate Sebastiano Zerbo (IT) was fourth, followed by Danilo
Lewis (BR / TecFil Racing Team) in fifth. Diego Petrel (BR / BMW
Motorrad Alex Barros Racing) ended the race in eighth and Alex Borges
(BR / Pitico Racing Team) completed the top ten in tenth. In the
championship standings, Lewis defended the overall lead.
