The BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2020 will take place in New Zealand next year. The heat is already on for the luxury bike owners in India as they will compete in Goa to represent the Indian team. The Indian National Qualifier for the trophy will take place from September 27-29, this year, where three winners will emerge.
The winning team will get all their equipment from BMW Motorrad as well as be taken to the competition in New Zealand from February 9 -16 for the 2020 event. Each rider will get new personalised BMW F 850 GS motorcycles for the event. Rudratej Singh, President and CEO, BMW Group India said of the competition, “The GS Trophy is not a rally or a race; it focuses mainly on team spirit as well as skills that are tested in various ways. It unites the world of motorcycling with the essence of friendly competition.”
Held every two years, the national qualifier is similar to the international format. It is a multi-day competition with riders scoring points. This followed by a final where top scorers face-off to make it to the three team positions.
The other teams competing in the international competition will be from Australia, China, France, Italy, Japan, Latin America, Malaysia/Philippines, Mexico, Middle East (UAE, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar), Nordic (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland), North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt), Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, UK and USA.
