As soon as the Race Mapping PRO V2024 has been released for everyone, further development is already ongoing. True to the motto "the better is the enemy of the good", we are already working on the 2025 version. So we were recently back on the racetrack ourselves with our BMW S1000RR 2022 and 2023. In addition, we also went to Spain in January and February together with Marc Neumann #36.
Here is a video from the Valencia test with rider Marc Neumann #36.
The first race of the AMA Superhoolingan Series took place this year as part of the world-famous Daytona 200 race. The Daytona 200 and the Daytona Bike Week, which takes place at the same time, attract around 300,000 bikers every year. The race track is a high-speed course with banked turns and a very selective infield section. For the second time, we (Rainer on site and Robert from home for the data) were able to be part of the team around Nate Kern and, in addition to the further development of the motorcycle setup and electronics of his BMW R nineT, also take on the role of crew chief. After a promising P1 session, Nate crashed badly on his own oil in Q1 through no fault of his own. Root cause was a contact with another with another rider a few corners before where the right valve cover got damaged. Although the doctors gave him the green light to continue taking part in the remaining outings, the bike and rider were unfortunately no longer at 100%. So the time from one lap in Q1 was only enough for P9 because the bike unfortunately still showed problems in Q2 that could be traced back to the crash. R1 was again unfortunate with a flat on the front wheel which fortunately was noticed during the red phase. In the end it was enough for P9 in R2 and an impressive top speed of 170mph / 276kmh in R1 (unofficial because before the restart).
A personal thanks to Kent Soignier (GMD COMPUTRACK ATLANTA), Paul Wilson (Paul's Garage LLC), Tom, Gina and Nate for the great cooperation and hospitality we experienced. We look forward to seeing you again!

After a year's break, the German Endurance Cup (DLC) will once again inspire racers and fans in 2024. In addition to our motorsports sponsorship program - 25% discount on our services for registered DLC participants - we are also supporting the DLC directly this year and are once again a partner of the DLC. For all those who are not yet registered, here are the dates
We wish all participants and everyone involved in organizing the DLC races a great season. We are already looking forward to exciting races.
We are saying goodbye for 2023 so that we can attack again with full force in 2024. You can already see one of our 2024 projects in our hands ...
Merry Christmas and a healthy and successful 2024 season,
Robert and Rainer
The time has finally come and we can now offer our Race Mapping PRO variants in the version 2024. As part of the development and testing work, David Datzer #55 was also on the track with various development files throughout the year. In the last roadracing event of the year - the MacaoGP - David and his BMW M1000RR 2023 with our Race Mapping PRO C V2024 were able to achieve an impressive podium among the world's roadracing elite. A more than remarkable result when you consider that David, unlike Peter Hickman and Co., did not enter the race with a WSBK engine and peripherals (i.e. correspondingly less engine power). We congratulate him once again and thank him for all the years of partnership!
Below is a list of the main innovations and improvements in the 2024 version:
With the new Power Mapping PRO, we will be differentiating the K6x generation models from the K4x generation of BMW M/S1000 models in future. After hundreds of hours of development, testing and validation work, we have incorporated the following new features and improvements in version 2024.
We recently had the pleasure of fitting a fantastic and radically slimmed-down R1250GS with Dynamic Mapping and sports gauge. As we have not yet had the opportunity to fully measure an R1250 with a racing exhaust system (in this case Akrapovic without catalyst combined with Remus rear silencer), we also spent a few hours on the test bench to be able to offer the R version here too with a clear conscience. As the exhaust system hardly differs from the standard system, the result is also similar. Many thanks Frank for the cooperation and the following feedback!
... now, after almost 1,200KM, I can report accordingly. First of all - there is nothing negative to report! The automatic gearshift engages more smoothly and, in my opinion, also faster under the right pull, combined with a slightly louder "shifting backdrop" - which is not negative. The traction also seems to me to be improved up to 4,000 rpm, I'm not impressed with the GS at the top anyway, it just lacks power in general. The performance tuning generally had something "sobering" for me - please don't misunderstand - compared to other motorcycles, where an Akrapovic race exhaust did have much more effect.
