BMW varies its MotoGP safety cars, and the M2 is a compact performance car with 460 hp generated from its turbocharged inline-six engine, and it needs to be fast to keep the bikes in check at a pace that keeps the tires and brakes warm.
“Since 1999 we have been striving to incorporate our values such as innovation, technology, emotion, and passion into our partnership with Dorna Sports as well,” says Franciscus van Meel, CEO of BMW M. “Our new BMW M2 MotoGP safety car is just one example of this. With it we are continuing our tradition of putting the latest BMW M high-performance automobiles at the service of MotoGP safety. Be it the safety car fleet, the BMW M Award, or our many other activities in the top level of motorcycle racing – we are proud that Fascination M has become an important part of the MotoGP.”
