Two strong partners are moving closer together: Slovenian company Akrapovic will continue to support BMW Motorsport as Official Partner, and will significantly expand its long-term commitment over the coming years.
Akrapovic has been involved in BMW Motorsportâs DTM project since 2012. In the future, the leading manufacturer of high-quality exhaust systems will also be a prominent feature as Official Partner in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IWSC), in which BMW Team RLL competes with two BMW M6 GTLMs, and at the iconic 24-hour race at the NĂźrburgring (DE).
The Akrapovic logo will consistently be visible in the exhaust area of the respective racing cars â right at the point where Akrapovic products are being used.
For many years, BMW Motorsport and Akrapovic have also been working hand in hand on the further development of a wide range of projects, such as the BMW M4 DTM and the new BMW M6 GT3.
âI am delighted that a company like Akrapovic, which is so deeply entrenched in motor racing, is not only continuing its partnership with BMW Motorsport, but is actually expanding it,â said BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt.
âIn recent years, a really close cooperation between Akrapovic and us has developed on various different levels. You can just tell that Akrapovic is an active player on the motor racing scene, and that it is actively shaping many areas. A partnership like this is successful for both parties.â
âEverybody at Akrapovic is delighted to announce the continuation and expansion of the partnership between BMW Motorsport and ourselves,â commented UroĹĄ Rosa, CEO Akrapovic d.d.
âThis is yet another milestone for Akrapovic and to take this step during our 25-year anniversary, with such a valued partner as BMW Motorsport, makes it even more significant. To continue with this important collaboration is a great testament of the trust shown in us to deliver the latest technological advances to BMW Motorsport in its racing activities, and to extend that even further simply emphasises the bond in that relationship. To increase our involvement with BMW Motorsport in the customer racing side as âOfficial Partnersâ for the 24h NĂźrburgring and the IWSC just reinforces our ongoing alliance and makes us very proud to be involved.â
