KTM remains in motorsport: a clear plan until 2026!

The motorcycle manufacturer KTM is firmly in the saddle of Motorsport despite the current bankruptcy. Christopher Schipper, Managing Director of KTM Austria, confirmed to the APA that a withdrawal from the racing scene was not being planned. Motorsport is of crucial importance for marketing the products. This also coincides with the opinion of Pit Beirer, the motorsport director of KTM. Communication with the renovation agent Peter Vogl is intensive in order to underline the importance of motorsport in the company's orientation. Future investors will be integrated into it because motorsport remains part of the business plan, as Schipper made it clear. Laola1 reported .

The financial dimensions are considerable: According to Vogl, KTM's annual expenses in motorsport amount to an impressive 95 million euros, of which 46 million flow into the prestigious MotoGP alone alone. KTM is contractually bound to this premier class of motorsport by 2026. An early exit would be associated with sensitive punishments, which underlines the strength of the current plans. "We will definitely be in the MotoGP until 2026," emphasized Schipper, who also considers a continuation of the engagements beyond 2026, as the Krone reported .
