The third round of the FIM Endurance World Championship 2022 (FIM EWC) takes the BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team to Japan. The Suzuka 8 Hours is coming up next weekend (5th to 7th August), another classic event on the schedule. Having celebrated victory at the home race in early June, the 24H SPA EWC Motos (BEL), the team is aiming to claim a strong result also in Japan.
More, from a press release issued by FIM EWC: Race report: BMW team stars at Spa in action-packed 24-hour EWC counter June 5 2022 There was non-stop action and drama when the FIM Endurance World Championship returned to Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for the first time in 21 years as the Belgian track delivered a race that matched up to its legendary status. While BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team celebrated a maiden 24-hour EWC victory to follow up its breakthrough success in the six-hour 2021 season decider last October, the circuit’s ultra-challenging nature and rain for the final five hours combined to ensure rider skill came very much to the fore in the 24H SPA EWC Motos. As well as the efforts of riders Jérémy Guarnoni (France), Illya Mykhalchyk (Ukraine) and Markus Reiterberger (Germany), BMW’s success owed plenty to the expertise of its Belgium-based team, led by former rider Werner Daemen, and the reliability of the Dunlop-equipped BMW M1000RR.
After the successful 2021 season, victory in Most (CZE) and second place overall in the FIM Endurance World Championship (FIM EWC), the BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team is now concentrating fully on preparations for 2022. Team manager Werner Daemen has taken the team to Almeria in Spain for the first three-day winter testing session.
