Valcourt,
Québec - For the 2013 ATV and side-by-side racing season, BRP has added the
all-new 2013 Can-Am Maverick 1000R to its line of side-by-side vehicles and
ATVs eligible for the Can-Am Amateur Racer Support program.
The
101-hp, pure-sport Maverick 1000R side-by-side vehicle joins the Can-Am
Commander, the DS 450 ATV and certain Outlander and Renegade 4x4 models for the
coming racing season. In addition to the racer support program eligibility, BRP
will also expand its Can-Am X-Team ATV and Side-By-Side Racing contingency to
include eligible Can-Am Maverick 1000R owners, increasing its industry-leading
program to more than US $2 million for 2013.
"BRP
continues to raise the bar in terms of its product offerings, rider support efforts
and Can-Am X-Team Racing Contingency program," Jimmie O'Dell, race manager,
Can-Am, said. "Including a dynamic vehicle like the Maverick 1000R to the lineup
of eligible Can-Am vehicles and further expanding BRP's industry-leading
support for was a necessity. We understand Can-Am owners have a desire to
compete with their vehicle, so expanding rider support and Can-Am contingency
is our way of helping them pursue their passion and rewarding them for it on
both a local or national level."
Amateur
racers will need to first purchase a qualifying ATV or side-by-side vehicle and
register with an authorized Can-Am dealer. The list includes the all-new 2013
Can-Am Maverick 1000R and 2011, 2012 and 2013 Can-Am Commander in the
side-by-side vehicle segment. For Can-Am ATVs, any new or unused 2011, 2012 and
2013 DS 450, Renegade and certain Outlander (see rules) ATVs are eligible.
Once
signed up, racers who compete in their local race circuit or a nationally
recognized racing series can qualify for the model rebate. Those racers who
meet eligibility requirements can benefit by receiving up to a $1,000 factory
discount on all eligible ATV models and a $1,500 factory discount on all
eligible side-by-sides. 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 DS 450, 4x4 or side-by-side contingency program qualifications can
also receive cash payouts in the amount earned based on their finishing
position at an event. Payments are mailed directly to the participant or legal
guardian. BRP will also continue to award contingency payouts for overall
championship at the conclusion of the 2013 racing season.
Contingency
cash is paid out in all major U.S.
national racing series, including the 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. For 2013, the number of
qualified racing series has expanded to include even more racing circuits, from
desert series to hare scrambles to endurance events in the U.S. and Canada.
