BMW’s Competitive Road Racing
For a company that came into existence as an airplane manufacturer and would still have been one, lest the Treaty of Versailles and then came into re-existence as a motorcycle manufacturer and has given the world an impeccable range of refined motorcycles since; being absent from the competitive road racing circuit for five decades is indigestible .
Whatever may have been the reason for this long absence is unknown to me but the fact that BMW are reentering this competition zone is definitely a thing to cheer about. It will not only add another brand name to the competitive road racing world, it will also make the competition more intense.BMW will begin its rejuvenation by participating in the ‘24 heures moto’ more famously known as the Le Mans endurance race, on the 21st of this month. The team will be christened ‘BMW Motorrad Motorsport’ a dubbing which BMW used in their appearances before this astounding gap.The machine to be used in this competition and a few others to follow (4 in all) will be a boxer, closely based on the BMW R 1200 S(pictured). Its heavy duty 1200 cc will enable it to compete in the Open Category.The race at Le Mans is just a whiff away and I already know whom to vouch for but this surprise reentry has just made my choice a little dubious owing to BMW’s great bike manufacturing history.
