Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) claimed the 204 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto after an almost perfect campaign. He broke records and made history for BMW, so we’ve found some key stats from Razgatlioglu’s campaign as ‘El Turco’ became a two-time Champion.

248 – Despite missing two rounds, the Turkish rider led 248 laps (out of a possible 593, 41.8%) in 2024, almost double led by Nicolo Bulega with 127; they were the only two riders to lead more than 100 laps

92-79 – Razgatlioglu’s biggest margin over second place was 92 points after Portimao. He lost 79 points of that when he was out injured, but extended his lead to win by 43 points over Bulega

90 – Razgatlioglu finished on the podium in 90% of his races this season, standing on the rostrum 27 times out of a possible 30, an all-time record for any manufacturer (excluding Mick Doohan’s three wins in four races for Yamaha)

60 – ‘El Turco’ also won 60% of his races this season, taking victory 18 times. Like the 90% of podiums, it’s a record for a manufacturer discounting Doohan’s incredible record

18/32, 6/12 – Razgatlioglu has taken more than half of BMW’s victories in WorldSBK (18 out of 32), and half their pole positions (six out of 12)

13 – Razgatlioglu claimed 13 consecutive wins in WorldSBK before his Magny-Cours FP2 crash, beating the previous record held jointly by Alvaro Bautista and Jonathan Rea (11)

11 – He’s the 11^th double Champion in WorldSBK, after Rea (6), Carl Fogarty (4), Troy Bayliss (3), Fred Merkel, Doug Polen, Colin Edwards, Troy Corser, James Toseland, Bautista and Max Biaggi (all 2)

6 – Excluding the first season, he’s the sixth rider to win the title in his first season with a new manufacturer. He follows Polen (1991, Ducati), Corser (1994, Ducati; 2005, Suzuki), John Kocinski (1997, Honda), Ben Spies (2009, Yamaha) and Rea (2015, Kawasaki)

6 – The Turkish superstar is the first rider to win the title despite missing six races; the previous record was two (Polen, 1991; Fogarty, 1994)

3/5 – three of Razgatlioglu’s five WorldSBK ‘Grands Chelems’ came in 2024, when he started from pole, won the race, led every lap, and set the fastest lap: Donington Park (Race 1 and Race 2), Most (Race 1). The others came at Estoril in 2020 (Superpole Race) and Mandalika 2022 (Race 1).

3/2/1 – He’s the third rider to win titles with two different manufacturers (Yamaha, BMW), after Corser (Ducati, Suzuki) and Toseland (Ducati, Honda). He’s the first to do it without winning for Ducati

1/7 – Razgatlioglu’s title is the first for BMW, who become the seventh manufacturer to win the Riders’ Championship after Ducati (16), Kawasaki (8), Honda (6), Aprilia (3), Yamaha (2) and Suzuki (1)
