A second place in Race 1 at this weekend’s WorldSBK Spanish Round was enough for Toprak Razgatlioglu to win the 2024 World ཧSuperbike Championship with two races still to go.

Razgatlioglu’s title — his second, after 2𓂃021 — was won in his first season with BMW, the German manufacturer also clinching its own first title in WorldSBK thanks to the Turkish 💎rider’s accomplishment.

It has been done in a season which has seen R𒊎azga💟tlioglu win 17 races — with two still to go — and take 26 podiums from the 34 races run so far.

Razgatlioglu’s season has also included a record winning ruꩲn of 13 races in the middle of the year, stretching between Race 2 at the Dutch Round until Race 2 at ൩the Portuguese Round.

The winning streak was halted whe♉n Razgatlioglu crashed in practice for the French Round at the beginning of September an൩d suffered a collapsed lung.

It was an injury ℱwhich threatened to prevent him from securing the championship despite his dominance preced♛ing it.

He was forced to miss the races in France, and the Italian 𓆏Round in its entirety, but on his return to racing in Aragon he immediately returned to the podium, finishing s🍃econd in all three races at MotorLand.

Three more podium🔜s, including two wins, at last weekend’s Estoril Round saw Razgatlioglu come within touching distance of the title, and meant th❀at a second place in today’s Race 1 at Jerez was enough for him to be crowned champion — despite his closest rival, Nicolo Bulega, winning the race — with two races still to run.
