Toprak Razgatlioglu's recent outstanding performances have propelled BMW to the top of the World Superbike Championship constructors' championship. Since joining BMW, Razgatlioglu has won every race since the second main race at Assen, racking up ten consecutive victories. These successes have allowed BMW to take the lead in the constructors' championship, a coveted position which team boss Shaun Muir is celebrating with enthusiasm.
« It was a busy two weeks for us. We come back with six consecutive victories during consecutive events. This is an important step for us ", said Shaun Muir, team leader at ROKiT BMW Motorrad. Muir, who is part of the factory team BMW since 2019, has finally seen its efforts rewarded thanks to the signing of Razgatlioglu.
« Toprak once again did a fantastic job – lap record in qualifying and a hat-trick of victories. He consolidated his championship position and extended his lead ", smiles Muir. The Turkish driver not only dominated the races, but also allowed the Munich coat of arms to surpass Ducati in the constructors' championship with 312 points against 305 for Ducati.

In addition to Razgatlioglu, Muir is also satisfied with the performance of Michael van der Mark. Although the Dutchman encountered difficulties during qualifying at Must (16th starting position), he managed to improve his position in the Superpole race, finishing fifth in Sunday's second main race. This strong performance contributed to the team's points, strengthening the position of BMW in ranking.
BMW took the lead in the constructors' championship, a first for the German brand, demonstrating the power and efficiency of their new driver combination. In the team classification, the points of the drivers of each team are added together. ROKiT BMW thus totals 399 points, placing itself behind Aruba.it Ducati (Bulega, Bautista) who leads with 438 points.
The impact of Razgatlioglu on the performance of the M1000RR is undeniable. By dominating the competition and setting records, he not only propelled BMW at the top, but also solidified his own position in the championship WSBK, creating a winning dynamic that could well define the 2024 World Superbike Championship season. Shaun Muir and the whole team BMW can rejoice in these successes, hoping to continue this momentum in future races.
