BMW Motorrad BoxerCup 2003: First race to be held in Daytona Beach (USA) during Speedweek

Munich, Germany. Following the decision to conduct the BMW Motorrad BoxerCup
again in 2003, the racing dates have now been confirmed. The first race will be
held in Daytona Beach, USA, as part of the Speedweek at the "200 Miles of
Daytona" on March 9th, 2003. The further races will be held as part of the
MotoGP motorcycle world championships, one Endurance race as well as the
British Superbike Championship.

With the BoxerCup race in Daytona a brand cup will be held outside of Europe
for the first time. The racetrack is a high-speed course which poses a great
challenge for the riders.

Meanwhile the BMW Motorrad BoxerCup has become a fixed component in motorbike
racing. In 2003 it is being conducted for the fifth time already. The rider
field of 30 participants is once again made up of international top riders.
Randy Mamola will be the official BoxerCup ambassador again as in the past two
years.

We will be sure to witness thrilling battles and stunning riding for the
attractive prizes. The winner will take home a BMW M3 coupé, the runner-up a
