BMW Motorrad USA Unveils 2025 Customer Race Assistance and Incentive Program for Motorsports Participants
BMW Motorrad USA has announced its Customer Race Support Program for the upcoming 2025 racing season, demonstrating their continued commitment to supporting privateer racing teams and riders. The program offers financial incentives, technical assistance, and remote data support for racers using BMW motorcycles in various motorcycle racing events.
The program consists of two key steps for application: submission through racesupportprogram.bmwmotorcyclesevents.com and completion to be considered active in the 2025 Customer Race Contingency program. To enroll, riders must also complete the New Vendor Process.
Financial rewards are a significant part of the program, with potential payouts for various series and classes. For instance, the MotoAmerica Stock 1000 offers $3,000 for 1st place, $2,500 for 2nd place, $2,000 for 3rd place, $1,250 for 4th place, and $1,000 for 5th place. Other series, such as MotoAmerica, AFM, AHRMA, ASRA, CCS, CMRA, and CRA, also have their own prize money structures, with $800 for 1st place, $600 for 2nd place, $450 for 3rd place, $300 for 4th place, and $200 for 5th place.
The support extends beyond financial rewards, with BMW Motorrad USA providing pre-race data set up tailored for each racetrack, racer's style, and pace based on data sourced from the large community of BMW Motorrad Customer Racers. Additionally, remote customer race engineering support is available for racers enrolled in the program and actively competing in eligible series on eligible BMW motorcycles.
Eligible classes within these series include Stock 1000, Formula Pacific, Battle of the Twins I, Team Challenge GTO, Unlimited GP, Formula 1, and 1000 GT. The program is open to various BMW motorcycle models produced from 2021 to 2026.
For the most authoritative and detailed information, it is recommended to reach out to BMW Motorrad USA customer support or visit their official website dedicated to racing programs closer to or during the 2025 season. The full details, requirements, qualifying classes, and races, as well as the application link for the Contingency Program, can be found on BMW Motorcycles' official website.
