BMW World Superbike team boss Shaun Muir says Toprak Razgatlioglu’s M1𝓡000RR won’t have many upgrades coming for the final rounds of 2024.

The 2021 world champion is well on his way to a second WSBK title and first with BMW, having amassed 15 race wins this season on the M1000ꦜRR.

Coming into this weekend’s Magny-Cours round of the campaign Razgatlioglu leads the st✃andings by 92 points with five events remaining.

The BMW 🔯he is riding isn’t set to receive too many more updates before the end of the year, though this isn’t likely to derail Razgatlioglu’s title charge.

“We don’t have many parts coming now until the first pre-season test of 2🐲025,” Muir 🌞told WorldSBK.com.

“It’s some electronic upgrades 🌄to do with electronic strategy and fault finding.

“The package we have today wiꦬll see us thr🅷ough until the end of the final race.”

Reflecting on the season so far, Muir says Razgatlioglu’s first impressions of the BMW in testing staജnd out as a highlight for him.

“We had a difficult December test because of the whole timing of Toprak being able to ride the BMW,▨” he added.

“We had a moment in Valencia. We were still quite unsure, but Toprak made a brave decision to move away from Yamaha onto this package🍨.

“It was really at Valencia where his eyes widened and thought, ‘Do you know what? I have made the right decision. I know we can make this bike worꦰk; I know we can make this package work, what we have now iꦿs good enough.’

“That ꦐwas the first one because it was like, wo🌺w, we can really enjoy our Christmas turkey.

“The s𒐪econd one was clearly that amazing ride to ♈come back and beat Nicolo [Bulega] in Barcelona.

“Not the move in the Superpo♑le Race, but to come from 3.3 seconds down and to do that.

“It was a little bit of a rookie race for Nicolo to use his tyres as he did, but it was also re🍰ally measured by Toprak.

“Coming out of that event, the race tim🌜e in Race 1 and Race 2 of Toprak’s were identical within a few tenths of a second in overall race time.

“That was a sensationa🌱l performance from him, and it just made us real𒊎ise that we’ve got such a talent.”
