BMW plans to enter four full-factory HP2 Sports, the highly-modified production version of R 1200 S, in the 2008 Daytona 200. “We want to run the Daytona 200,” Rainer Bäumel, project leader for all of BMW’s on-road activities, told Roadracingworld.com Monday at the Pirelli tire test at Daytona International Speedway. “Our plan is to come with four bikes with four riders. Now we are five seconds slower than the other, but we just started to make our set-up suit the track. So we will see where we finish.” Bäumel said the four riders would be Austrian Thomas Hinterreiter, German Rico Penzkofer and Americans Nate Kern and Brian Parriott. Hinterreiter and Kern are currently testing at Daytona on the same HP2 Sports that BMW raced in several rounds of the 2007 QMMF Endurance World Championship.
