“We look forward to an exciting season and wish all participants of the 2019 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy the very best of luck.”
The scoring system of the Race Trophy has been revised in places for the new season. The scoring system was adjusted to reflect changes in individual championships. For example, the additional “Superpole Race” with its own points system in the WorldSBK and the scoring system in the Superstock class of the British Superbike Championship. The Race Trophy bonus points system has been simplified. The number of void results has also been adjusted in some championships.

There will also be prizes for the riders and teams who win the title in their championship, and in the categories of “Best BMW Rider in Class” and “Newcomer of the Year”.
