BMW M - Official Car Of MotoGP 2014

MotoGP and BMW M GmbH have proved to be perfect partners. This is underlined by the length of their cooperation: 2014 will be the 16th season. Whether on two wheels or four, the spectacular Motorcycle World Championship and the manufacturer of exclusive high-performance automobiles share values such as spearheading innovation, dynamics, highest quality and international commitment.  Ensuring the world's two-wheel drivers are as safe as possible at top speeds of up to 340km/h is MotoGP organizer Dorna Sports' main concern. The MotoGP World Championship gives BMW M GmbH the opportunity to present its areas of business to an international audience on a global scale at Grand Prix in 14 countries across five continents. The pioneering collaboration began in 1999. The year full reflected the upcoming turn of the century.   In the 250 cc class of the Motorcycle World Championship, a certain Valentino Rossi was crowned champion – he would later become the dominant two-wheel drive of the first decade in the new century. BMW M safety cars have been part of the race for points and titles in the Motorcycle World Championship since 1999.
