Dear BMW GS Owners: I’m
pleased to announce that SouthEast Asia will now be officially
represented in the legendary BMW
Motorrad GS Trophy 2016. As you might already know, the GS
Trophy is an Enduro challenge that is second to none, filled with
Adventure, foreign cultures, new friendships, gravel, sand and dust
– and absolute Sheer Riding Pleasure! International three-man teams
compete in intensive daily stages as well as numerous special
challenges set to bring out the best in every rider.
In order to field our first-ever SEA team at the GS
trophy, BMW Motorrad will organize a series of regional
qualifiers to identify the very best Adventure riders we
have here. The winning team will then compete for the
grand GS Trophy right within our territory, as the next
International GS Trophy will be also be held in
SouthEast Asia!
The BMW Motorrad East Asia
Regional Qualifying event will be held on October 2015
at the newly launched Enduro Park in Thailand – just an
hour’s ride away from Bangkok. There, 15 riders from our
markets will compete for the honor to join two other
riders from other markets to form the first-ever SEA
team.
The 15 slots have been allocated according
to the volume of GS motorcycles sold in your markets.
Given this, the allocation is as follows:
Taiwan: 6 Singapore: 2
Indonesia: 2 Philippines: 2
Vietnam: 2 Hong Kong: 1
As mentioned, the top
rider selected among the 15 from your markets will be
part of the 3-man SEA team competing at the
International GS Trophy!
In this regard, we invite you to
enroll now by sending an email to eric.lo@bmwhk.com so
that we can keep you informed on local selection events
and the cost involved.
Please note the following:
1.
Participants will be charged a fee that covers
competition dues, accommodations, meals, transfers, etc.
In addition, airfare, bike rentals, incidentals, etc.
are excluded from this fee. 2.
Each three-man team will also have an accompanying
journalist assigned to them. The selection process for
this journalist is still being finalized. 3.
All male and female riders may be nominated as long as
they are registered owners of a BMW GS model (proof to
be provided) at the time of the qualifying and, if ever,
international finals. I look
forward to hearing from you.
