BMW M2 MotoGP Safety Car
The Grande Prémio de Portugal from 24th to 26th March, 2023 at Portimão marks the start of an anniversary season for BMW M, the 25th season as Official Car of MotoGP™. The close partnership with MotoGP™ rights holder Dorna Sports dates back to 1999. The start of the anniversary season in Portugal will see the new BMW M safety car make its debut. The new BMW M2 MotoGP™ safety car is based on the new BMW M2, which made its world premiere in October 2022.
"We are delighted to be joining BMW M in celebrating the 25th anniversary season of our partnership in 2023," said Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports. "In BMW M we have had a strong partner at our side for a quarter of a century; a partner with whom we have enjoyed superb collaboration in many different areas. We are very proud of this long-standing partnership that is never at a standstill, it gives plenty of fresh momentum each year. With the most innovative technologies, BMW M is taking care of safety in our sport for the 25th year now, and is a firm fixture in the MotoGP paddock with a wide range of activities. Here's to a fantastic anniversary season in 2023!"
"2023 is our 25th season as Official Car of MotoGP - a long-standing, close partnership like this is special in international racing," added Franciscus van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH. "We would like to thank Dorna Sports for the great trust they have placed in us for a quarter of a century now. Since 1999 we have been striving to incorporate our values such as innovation, technology, emotion, and passion into our partnership with Dorna Sports as well. Our new BMW M2 MotoGP safety car is just one example of this. With it we are continuing our tradition of putting the latest BMW M high-performance automobiles at the service of MotoGP safety. Be it the safety car fleet, the BMW M Award, or our many other activities in the top level of motorcycle racing - we are proud that Fascination M has become an important part of the MotoGP."

The BMW M2 MotoGP car is 1.7 tonnes and 450bhp of safety
Who among us wouldn't sleep easier at night with this BMW M2 keeping guard nearby?
Giving a 1.7-tonne lump of metal, rubber and plastic 450bhp with which to drive at speed isn't what you'd call 'safe'. Never mind on a track full of extraordinarily fast motorcycles carrying barely-protected riders. Nonetheless, here is MotoGP's new safety car.
Yep, this BMW M2 is the official safety car of MotoGP, with the German manufacturer now in its 25th as the series' supplier. Which is ironic if you consider how your average 25-year-old BMW is driven. Or indeed five-year-old BMW.
But unlike the average BMW you see on the road, this M2 is a little different.
To make sure the M2 safety car fulfils the safe side of things, it comes with the requisite roll bar, Recaro seats, six-point racing harnesses and fire extinguisher, as well as a light bar across the roof and matching front lights.
