2023 North West 200

In a single day FHO Racing BMW withdrew from the North West 200 after being instructed that their machines have been ineligible for the Superstock occasion.

Their M 1000 RR machines with carbon rims had handed scrutineering twice this week, just for then on the remaining juncture earlier than the Superstock race was to get underway have been instructed that they have been unlawful.  The group have additionally raced the North West 200 with carbon rims earlier than, which makes this example extra intriguing.

It seems to be as if FHO have been protested by one other group for operating the carbon rims that the M 1000 RR comes with as customary.

The M 1000 RR in earlier years may solely be bought with carbon rims, for 2023 it appars that in some markets BMW have given clients the ‘no price possibility’ of cast rims rather than the usual carbon rims. However carbon rims stay customary fitment on the M 1000 RR.

Regular S 1000 RR alloy rims can’t be used on the M 1000 RR because it has a novel rear brake set-up, thus the choice for cast rims on the M 1000 RR is a brand new growth.

Within the guidelines it additionally states that for Superstock the usual rims have to be used, so if that’s the case solely the carbon rims could be permitted, however carbon rims are actually banned, so if that each one rings true then no person may legally race an M 1000 RR on the NW200…

North West 200 assertion follows.

The technical laws of the Motorbike Union of Eire (Ulster Centre), beneath which the fonaCAB and Nicholl Oils North West 200 is run, state that carbon wheels should not permitted to be used at any MCUI highway race occasion.

These laws, that are applied by the MCUI Stewards of the Assembly, have been accepted by the game’s governing physique in January 2023 and printed on the North West 200’s web site at that stage.

The FHO Racing BMW group have been knowledgeable by the MCUI’s Stewards after qualifying on Thursday afternoon that their riders, Peter Hickman and Josh Brookes, could be excluded from the Briggs Gear Superstock race as their machines have been fitted with carbon wheels.

The NW200 organisers have been knowledgeable of the Steward’s determination, which is remaining and binding upon the occasion, at 2130 on Thursday evening throughout the remaining Steward’s assembly.

No such motion had been mentioned with the NW200 organisers previous to this time regardless of the machines having been scrutineered on each Tuesday and Thursday morning.

We deeply remorse the FHO Racing BMW group’s determination to withdraw from the occasion tonight on account of this motion, a sentiment we all know can be shared by all NW200 race followers.
