Valcourt, Québec - For the 2012 ATV and
side-by-side racing season, BRP has added certain Can-Am Outlander and Renegade
ATV models and Can-Am Commander side-by-side vehicles to its amateur racer
support program that has included the Can-Am DS 450 ATV for the past three
racing seasons. To complement the additional models added, BRP will also
support new 4x4 ATV and side-by-side classes and series adding to its
industry-leading Can-Am X-Team Racing contingency program.
"BRP understands the value of an ATV racing
contingency program and has already established itself as an industry leader
with the DS 450 Amateur Racer Support Program," Jimmie O'Dell, race
manager, Can-Am, said.
"We added 4x4 ATV models and side-by-side vehicles as way to support those
amateur racers who choose to race 4x4 ATVs and side-by-sides. BRP wants to fuel
their desire to compete and make it more feasible to chase their dreams,
whether it be on a local or national level."
Starting
right now, eligible units in the program include all new or unused 2010, 2011
and 2012 Can-Am Outlander and Renegade ATVs and all 2011 and 2012 new or unused
Can-Am Commander side-by-side vehicles. Benefits
of the program include a $1000 factory discount on all eligible ATV models and
a $1500 factory discount on all eligible side-by-sides. Full details of the
Can-Am X-Team racing contingency program will be released in the following
months. This new 4x4 support program joins the existing DS 450 Racer Support
Program and begins immediately.
Amateur
racers who compete in their local series or a nationally recognized racing
circuit can qualify for the model rebate. They will need to register with an
authorized Can-Am dealer and purchase a qualifying ATV or SxS. However, the
number of vehicles eligible for the program is limited and once BRP reaches
that number, the program will end.
Racers,
who meet the 4x4 contingency program qualifications can earn the rebate and
also receive cash payouts in the amount earned based on their finishing
position in an event. The payment is mailed directly to the participant or
legal guardian. BRP will also continue to award contingency for overall
championships at the conclusion of the racing season.
Contingency
cash is paid out in all major U.S.
national racing series, including the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country
(GNCC) series, World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS), High Lifter Mud
Nationals as well as numerous local off-road racing series. The list of
qualified racing series has expanded for 2012 to include even more racing
circuits, from desert events to hare scrambles to endurance events in the U.S. and Canada. The 2012 Can-Am X-Team
Racing Contingency Program will be announced at a later date.
