Munich. The privateer BMW racers from around the world will
take each other on in a unique competition once again in 2019: The
BMW Motorrad Race Trophy enters its sixth season. BMW Motorrad
Motorsport will once again distribute a total of more than 100,000
euros in prize money among the best participants this year. The
regulations have been revised in various areas, giving them a
simpler structure.
“The BMW Motorrad Race Trophy has become a real institution,” said
BMW Motorrad Motorsport Director Marc Bongers. “We are very proud of
the fact that this unique competition is entering its sixth season. It
shows the importance of the Race Trophy to our racing customers around
the world. The privateer BMW teams and riders represent BMW at
racetracks around the world and it is very important to us to honour
their dedication and successes. We do this with this unique
competition, in which BMW racers from around the world take each other
on in their own league table. We look forward to an exciting season
and wish all participants of the 2019 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy the
very best of luck.”
In 2019, 26 different championship classes in 21 international and
national race series will be classified for the BMW Motorrad Race
Trophy – from the WorldSBK, through the FIM Endurance World
Championship (EWC), the International Road Racing Championship (IRRC),
to national championships on all continents. New additions this year
are the FIM European Superstock 1000 Cup (EU STK), the successor
series of the discontinued FIM Superstock 1000 European Championship,
and the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC). The final registration

The scoring system of the Race Trophy has been revised in places for
the new season. The scoring system was adjusted to reflect changes in
individual championships. For example, the additional “Superpole Race”
with its own points system in the WorldSBK and the scoring system in
the Superstock class of the British Superbike Championship. The Race
Trophy bonus points system has been simplified. The number of void
results has also been adjusted in some championships.
At the end of the season, the 30 top participants in the BMW Motorrad
Race Trophy rankings will be awarded prize money and trophies. There
will also be prizes for the riders and teams who win the title in
their championship, and in the categories of “Best BMW Rider in Class”
and “Newcomer of the Year”.
In addition, BMW Motorrad Motorsport has intensified its cooperation
with alpha Racing. As “Official Partner of BMW Motorrad Motorsport”,
alpha Racing is closely involved in the development and production of
the racing components for the new BMW S 1000 RR. The company is also
responsible for the distribution of the components to the BMW racing
