Last Friday at the BMW Group Classic in Munich, Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport officially launched its second season in the FIM Superbike World Championship with Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus who are ready to begin the 2010 season that takes of at Phillip Island February 28th.
In the presence of Infront Motor Sports CEO Paolo Flammini, Superbike World Championship Director Paolo Ciabatti and other guests, Corser and Xaus arrived on stage, riding their BMW S 1000 RR bikes.
Director BMW Motorrad Motorsport Berthold Hauser has ambitious goals: “Our goal is to close the gap to the leading teams.
We are aiming to finish in the top five as regularly as possible and pick up our first podium.
That’s the ambitious aim we have set ourselves for our second year in what is an extremely challenging World Championship.
However, we are well aware that our competitors have not been standing still either.
The Superbike World Championship brings us up against six motorcycle manufacturers who have established themselves on the race track.
You can set yourself aims in sport and make plans to achieve them, but you cannot dictate results – those have to be earned out on the track.
Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport is working flat out to make this possible.
”Davide Tardozzi, former Ducati team manager will head up team management and operational control at the race tracks.
Rainer Bäumel will continue as Head of Overall Project Management and Project Management Engineering, and Tardozzi has been given carte blanche by the German company.
The Italian has already lured Ducati’s Massimo Bartolini into the BMW fold and after the recent Valencia test has axed a couple of techs that he deemed inadequate.
Tardozzi has also said that BMW is still behind in data acquisition and that the team has still yet to update their software with all the traction control info that they gathered last year.
