Last weekend, the International Road Racing Championship (IRRC) was held in Schleiz, Thuringia. Six of the riders supported by us were able to achieve a top 10 finish. Marc-Reiner Schmidt and Marc Neumann from the Neumann Racing by Tommy Wagner team were there primarily to use the guest start in the IRRC as preparation for the IDM round in July. IRRC regular rider Patrick Hoff - also from the Neumann Racing team - had an absolutely brilliant weekend with a double victory (adjusted for guest starters) and is now P2 in the IRRC overall standings. Special attention has the local hero Julian Puffe (known from IDM and EWC) with 2xP2 results. Julian was on the 100th anniversary of the natural race track Schleizer Dreieck for the first time on an extremely close to stock BMW S1000RR 2021 (with ABS, with electronic chassis) and could impressively show that nowadays you do not have to change much to be able to move a superbike really fast.
| Rider | Fastest lap | R1 | R2 |
| Marc-Rainer Schmidt | 1:26.5 | P1 | P1 |
| Julian Puffe | 1:26.7 | P2 | P2 |
| Marc Neumann | 1:26.6 | P7 | P4 |
| Patrick Hoff | 1:27.0 | P4 | P5 |
| Didier Grams | 1:27.4 | P8 | P7 |
| Johannes Schwimmbeck | 1:28.7 | P11 | P10 |
Congratulations to all, and furthermore good recovery to Tommy Wagner and Marcel Elsner.
Together with David Datzer #55 we are for the first time in the Northwest 200, the famous road race in Northern Ireland similar to the Isle of Man TT. After a stressful pre-season preparation the two brand new BMWs - a S1000RR 2023 and a M1000RR 2023 - became ready for race almost at the last minute. Robert is on site to optimize the tuning of electronics and chassis for Datzii with the help of our data recording. After the qualifying sessions Datzii could drive himself as the best newcomer in both classes into the first starting group - Superstock P17, Superbike P16. An optimal starting point for four hopefully even more successful races. With P11 and P7 in the first two races, Datzii was able to prove his ability, but unfortunately a repeat was denied him due to a double technical defect.
Placements Superstock: R1 = P11 | R2 = DNF
Placements Superbike: R1 = P7 | R2 = DNF
A very special feedback about the current BMW S1000R from 2022 (K63) and our power mapping with acoustic package has reached us and we are happy to share it here.
Package unpacked, ECU reinstalled, start button pressed -> bike dead....PANIK; battery check -> battery dead; battery charged, ignition on -> it's alive! Carried out the steps on the package insert -> start of the test drive
Driving mode "Rain", first creep drive and bring everything up to temperature. FSK18 (driving mode "Dynamic Pro), 2nd gear local exit -> throttle, wormhole -> 4th gear, a look at the speedometer raises many questions: 1. how could I get so fast? 2. what did the guys do with the quickshifter? Not even a DSG gearbox shifts so smoothly! 3. did I just cry with joy?
... Guys, I really don't know in which ... fever dream you have had the ideas for this. I test drove the Ducati Streetfighter last year, which just seems like a 125cc in comparsion. What you have thought up in your contemplative workshop and above all implemented is really really sick sh**. With such an improvement in the overall driving characteristics I have not even begun to expect. MANY MANY MANY THANKS!!!

Since January, we are intensively engaged in the development work for the revised M/S1000RR models from 2023. After a lot of work on the in-house test bench, we have already been able to successfully complete 2 racetrack tests meanwhile. We can already offer numerous services such as the disabling of error messages / service messages, the enabling of the daytime running lights or our short throttle solution without restriction. In addition, we already offer a programming of the engine control unit with which the resulting error messages are disabled when converting to racing motorcycle (exhaust and intake valve actuators, rear O2 sensors, secondary air valve, tank ventilation ...). For all those waiting for our Power Mapping or Race Mapping PRO we offer a waiting list.
Many thanks to Marc Neumann #36 for his support (click on the picture to start a short video sequence from Misano)!
We were very pleased to receive the following feedback on our Shift Assist PRO retrofit kit for the BMW R1200 models - thanks again Alexander for allowing us to publish it here.
"Just came out of the garage. I am thrilled throughout! The installation was easily doable. Your video is excellently done. All the parts fit perfectly. The cable from the bottom with the "little box" is a little long. Made a loop and secured the box with a cable tie. Small test drive in the quarters: compared to the BMW Schaltassi of a R 1250 GS year 2022 at least at low speed clearly smoother. On a longer drive, it became apparent that your shift assistant enables smooth gear changes in almost all situations. Already high praise to you: A product that in every respect from the nice advice to the function simply has no weak points. Thank you! Is nowadays rather rare."

The Daytona 200 has been a source of excitement for many motorsport fans for decades. This year we were also able to support a project for the first time. With a newly built R nineT 2022 Nate Kern started in the SHNC (Super Hoolligan National Class) and could even reach P3.
We developed a special racing mapping for Nate and his R nineT based on our Dynamic Mapping and added our Shift Assistant PRO conversion kit. As the icing on the cake, we have also integrated the DTC +/- adjustment via handlebar switches (see picture).
Congratulations to Nate and the entire team for this great achievement and we look forward to the planned further development this season!
