Munich. Beginning on March 24 through March 26 at Portimo, the Grande Prémio de Portugal will serve as the official launch pad for BMW M's 25th season as the Official Vehicle of MotoGP. Since 1999, Dorna Sports, the owner of the MotoGP rights, and I have worked closely together. The new BMW M safety car will make its premiere in Portugal at the start of the anniversary season. The new BMW M2 MotoGP safety car is based on the new BMW M2, which had its world debut in October (combined fuel consumption in line with WLTP: 9.8 - 9.6 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions in accordance with WLTP: 222 - 218 g/km; specifics as per NEFZ).

Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports, said: "We are thrilled to be joining BMW M in celebrating the 25th anniversary season of our alliance in 2023. "With BMW M, we have had a reliable partner by our side for 25 years. We have had wonderful success working together on many various projects. We are quite proud of this long-standing collaboration because it never comes to a standstill and consistently generates new energy. With the most cutting-edge innovations, BMW M has been a constant in the MotoGP paddock with a variety of activities for the past 25 years, ensuring safety in our sport. We wish you all the best for the 2023 anniversary season!

Franciscus van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH, continued, "2023 marks our 25th season as the Official Car of MotoGP - a long-standing, tight collaboration like this is unique in world racing. "We would want to express our gratitude to Dorna Sports for the enormous faith they have shown in us over the past 25 years. Since 1999, we have worked to infuse our core values, including creativity, technology, passion, and emotion, into our relationship with Dorna Sports. One illustration of this is our brand-new BMW M2 MotoGP safety car. With it, we are carrying on our heritage of utilizing the most advanced BMW M high-performance cars to promote MotoGP safety.

The new BMW M2 is an impressive example of high-performance sports car tradition in condensed form and with cutting-edge technology. The new BMW M2, with its small size and 460 horsepower TwinPower turbo in-line 6-cylinder engine, is the ideal starting point for a BMW M safety car.

  

 

The BMW M2 was equipped with a variety of safety car components for use on MotoGP racetracks. A roll bar, RECARO seats, a 6-point racing harness, a fire extinguisher, the safety vehicle roof bar, and the complementary front light are some of these components. There are also a number of M Performance components added, including the exhaust system, chassis, carbon wing mirror covers, diffusor, and rear wing. The normal BMW M safety car livery will be on the BMW M2 MotoGP safety car. The 2023 safety car fleet also comprises numerous other BMW M safety, medical, and official cars, as well as BMW M 1000 RR safety bikes, in addition to the new BMW M2 MotoGP safety car.
