A round of the BMW Boxer Cup will replace the moved-to-WERA AMA Pro Thunder class at Daytona next March.
The all-BMW race will take Pro Thunder’s place in the Daytona schedule, with the Final run on Sunday prior to the start of the Daytona 200.
The addition of the class to the Daytona program seems to contradict two arguments for eliminating Pro Thunder from the AMA Pro Racing line-up:
1. Reducing the number of classes will improve AMA operations by allowing staffers to do less, better.
2. Reducing the number of classes will increase the amount of practice time available to riders in the remaining classes.
The BMW Boxer Cup is an international series typically held as a support race during MotoGP weekends.
BMW hopes to have more U.S. rounds of the series in the future.
