BMW CCA CLUB RACING
		BMW North America "Challenge Trophy"

 

In August 1996 BMW of North America, LLC announced the creation of the annual BMW Challenge Trophy in support of the BMW CCA Club Racing Series. The purpose is to recognize the top competitors racing the current and past generation "M" models produced by BMW. The Challenge Trophy series is conducted in parallel with the 2003 Club Racing Points System calendar.

For the 2003 Series, the trophy will recognize those competing in the E46 M3, E36 M3 and the M Coupe, in the Stock and Prepared classes.

The BMW Challenge Trophy is a permanent, sterling silver trophy that is inscribed with each winner's name and displayed at BMW NA headquarters in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. The winners are presented with a smaller reproduction of the trophy at the Oktoberfest held in the year following the close of the racing season. The 2003 BMW Challenge Trophies will be presented at the 2004 Oktoberfest festivities.

  BMW Challenge Trophy Rules 

1. Three BMW Challenge Trophies may be awarded annually on the basis of a driver's total points accumulated under the BMW CCA Club Racing National Points System while driving either current or immediate-past generation "M" series BMW cars competing in either Stock or Prepared classes. One trophy will be for the E46 M3 series, one for the E36 M3 series and one for the M coupe series.

2. Ties in the final points totals shall first be resolved on the basis of each driver's record of first place finishes; then, if necessary, second place finishes; then, if necessary, third place finishes. If a tie still remains after that process, the drivers shall be considered tied for the championship.
