BMW sloot het kampioenschap af met 158 punten, slechts vier meer dan Yamaha, dat op 154 punten eindigde.<\/p>\n<h3>Een wereldtitel uit Belgi\u00eb<\/h3>\n<p>Voor BMW Motorrad is het een mijlpaal. Voor Belgi\u00eb is het verhaal echter misschien nog wel opmerkelijker.<\/p>\n<p>MRP Racing uit Daemen levert niet zomaar wat personeel aan een Duits fabrieksteam. Het Belgische bedrijf leidt in feite het offici\u00eble FIM EWC-fabrieksteam van BMW.<\/p>\n<p>MRP is onlangs verhuisd naar een grotere werkplaats in Genk, Limburg, waar het racemotoren bouwt en klaarmaakt en zowel de fabrieks-BMW #37 als zijn Superstock-activiteiten beheert.<\/p>\n<p>De samenwerking met BMW gaat al veel verder terug. In 2022 omschreef BMW Belux het toenmalige team van Daemen uit Zonhoven al als zijn Belgische fabrieksteam en verlengde de samenwerking nadat het in 2021 tweede was geworden in het Wereldkampioenschap Endurance.<\/p>\n<p>Daemen was destijds heel duidelijk over zijn ultieme ambitie: wereldkampioen worden. Vier jaar later is dat doel bereikt.<\/p>\n<p>De Belg, geboren in Limburg in 1971, kent ook de andere kant van de pitmuur. Voordat hij teammanager werd, nam hij zelf deel aan internationale wedstrijden, onder meer in de World Supersport en bij endurance-races.<\/p>\n<p>Hij neemt ook een bijzondere plaats in binnen de racegeschiedenis van BMW Motorrad: in 2009 behaalde Daemen op de Salzburgring de eerste internationale raceoverwinning voor de toen nog nieuwe BMW S 1000 RR.<\/p>\n<p>Na zijn afscheid van de actieve sport bouwde hij MRP Racing uit tot een uiterst succesvolle BMW-raceorganisatie. Daemen en zijn teams hebben negen titels voor BMW behaald in de IDM en de Europese Superstock-racerij, waarna ze de grootste trofee tot nu toe aan hun palmares konden toevoegen.<\/p>\n<h3>Het opnemen tegen de Japanners<\/h3>\n<p>Deze prestatie is ook belangrijk omdat uithoudingsraces van oudsher een Japans domein zijn. Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki en Kawasaki hebben tientallen jaren ervaring in deze discipline, terwijl BMW pas in 2019 met zijn huidige fabrieksprogramma aan het kampioenschap is begonnen.<\/p>\n<p>Het seizoen 2026 liet zien hoe ver het programma inmiddels is gekomen. Nadat BMW door problemen een mogelijke overwinning op Le Mans misliep, won het team zijn thuisrace op Spa-Francorchamps.<\/p>\n<p>Tijdens de 8 Uur van Suzuka eindigde het vervolgens als derde, waarmee het de eerste Europese fabrikant ooit werd die het podium haalde in deze Japanse enduranceklassieker. Daardoor werd de Bol d\u2019Or een finale waarin de winnaar alles zou winnen.<\/p>\n<p>Er was nog een technisch bericht voor BMW. De M 1000 RR voltooide de 24 uur zonder noemenswaardige problemen, terwijl BMW aangeeft dat het team dankzij het lage brandstofverbruik minder pitstops hoefde te maken dan sommige concurrenten.<\/p>\n<p>Bij uithoudingsraces, waar de seconden die bij elke pitstop worden gewonnen zich gedurende de hele dag opstapelen, kan effici\u00ebntie net zo belangrijk zijn als de pure motorprestaties.<\/p>\n<p>Deze titel is tevens het derde wereldkampioenschap motorracen voor de M 1000 RR in drie jaar tijd, na twee opeenvolgende WorldSBK-titels. Daarmee heeft BMW een bijzondere prestatie neergezet: het vlaggenschip onder de superbikes heeft nu bewezen zowel sprintwedstrijden in de Superbike-klasse als 24-uurs endurance-races te kunnen winnen.<\/p>\n<h3>Meer dan zomaar een racetrofee voor een nichepubliek<\/h3>\n<p>De FIM EWC geniet weliswaar niet dezelfde wereldwijde bekendheid als de MotoGP, maar biedt motorfabrikanten een heel ander soort testterrein. Acht- en 24-uursraces stellen motoren, transmissies, elektronica, remmen en coureurs op de proef, ver boven de eisen die bij conventionele sprintraces worden gesteld.<\/p>\n<p>Voor BMW Motorrad betekent deze titel dan ook een extra steun in de rug voor zijn M-prestatiestrategie.<\/p>\n<p>En voor BMW Belux schuilt er een buitengewoon sterk lokaal verhaal achter. Een Belgische teammanager, een Belgische raceorganisatie gevestigd in Genk, Spa-Francorchamps als thuisrace van het team \u2013 en nu ook nog eens BMW\u2019s eerste wereldkampioenschap endurance.<\/p>\n<p>Zeven jaar nadat BMW en Daemen met het programma begonnen, heeft het relatief kleine Belgische team fabrikanten verslagen die al sinds de jaren \u201970 aan endurance-motorraces meedoen.<\/p>\n<p>Of, zoals Daemen het verwoordde nadat hij eindelijk de titel had binnengehaald: ze hebben niet alleen de motorfiets gebouwd. Ze hebben ook het team opgebouwd dat ermee kon winnen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMW Motorrad has made motorcycle racing history by becoming the first European manufacturer to win the FIM Endurance World Championship.
