Michael Dunlop (GB) dominated the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man with his Hawk Racing BMW S 1000 RR. In the Superstock class of the Alpe Adria Road Racing Championship (AARR STK), Michal Prášek (CZ / Rohac and Fejta motoracing team) secured the title with races to spare after finishing twice on the podium in Most (CZ). His fellow BMW racers Lukáš Pešek (CZ) and Marcin Walkowiak (PL) also celebrated wins and podiums at the Most AARR round. In the Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK), Jordan Szoke (CA) claimed another double win and Ben Young (CA) also stepped onto the podium after both races in Shubenacadie (CA). In the SuperBike Series Brasil (BRSBK), Danilo Lewis (BR) established his championship lead by finishing second in São Paulo (BR). These results led to major changes at the top of the 2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy.

 

 

2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy.

 

The battle for the top positions of the 2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy is in full swing. Michal Prášek (CZ / AARR STK) defended the lead by claiming two podium finishes at the penultimate round of the season in Most (CZ). He now has 325.60 Race Trophy points to his name. His closest rival is now Jordan Szoke (CA / CSBK), who climbed from eighth to second with 291.25 points after celebrating another double win last weekend. New in third is Michael Dunlop (GB) with 239.35 points. With his four wins at the Southern 100, which counts for the Race Trophy through the BMW Combined Road Race Challenge (BMW RRC), he improved from 16th in the standings. Lukáš Pešek (CZ) is new in fourth with 233.60 points courtesy of a win and a podium in the Superbike class of the Alpe Adria Road Racing Championship (AARR SBK) (see full standings below).

 

 

Southern 100 on the Isle of Man.

 

It was a dominant performance: Hawk Racing rider Michael Dunlop (GB) proved to be unbeatable with his BMW S 1000 RR at the Southern 100 on the Isle of Man. The 27-year old participated in four of the event’s races – and won all four of them by a wide margin.

 

In the “Corlett’s Trophies” race, Dunlop was 12 seconds faster then the rest of the field. In the “Ellan Vannin Fuels Senior Race”, his advantage was no less than 25 seconds. In the prestigious “Manx Gas Solo Championship” – the most important race of the week – he won with a margin of seven seconds. The Hawk Racing rider completed his triumph with his fourth win of the event in the “Island Aggregates Senior Race”, with an advantage of 15 seconds.

 

 

Alpe Adria Road Racing Championship in Most, Czech Republic.

 

The fourth and penultimate round of the 2016 Alpe Adria Road Racing Championship (AARR) was held at Most (CZ) last weekend. At his home round, BMW racer Michal Prášek (CZ) secured an early title win in the Superstock class (AARR STK). The Rohac and Fejta motoracing team rider finished the two races in second and third on the podium. In the eight races held so far this season, Prášek has claimed five wins and three more podiums – and was crowned champion before the final round is held at the end of September at the Slovakia Ring (SK). It was Prášek’s second consecutive title win on the BMW S 1000 RR.

 

The old and new champion, however, was not the highest placed BMW rider in the Superstock races at Most. Marcin Walkowiak (PL / Team LRP Poland) won the first encounter and finished the second heat in second place. Marek Hartl (CZ / Dafitmotoracing) completed the successful outing for the RR racers, coming home in fourth and fifth.

 

There was also reason to celebrate in the highest category of the series, in the Superbike class (AARR SBK). Lukáš Pešek (CZ / BMW Motorrad CSEU) secured a dominant win in race two, crossing the line more than seven seconds in front of his closest rival. Pešek had also stepped onto the podium in race one by claiming second place. His team-mates Miloš Cihak (CZ) and Martin Choy (BG) also raced into the top five on both occasions. Cihak ended both races in fourth, Choy took fifth in both encounters.

 

 

Canadian Superbike Championship in Shubenacadie, Canada .

 

The winning streak continues: Jordan Szoke (CA / Mopar Express Lane BMW Superbike Team) keeps dominating the Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK). Races number four and five of the 2016 season were held at “Atlantic Motorsport Park” near Shubenacadie (CA) last weekend. Szoke celebrated another double win and extended his lead in the championship. It is now 12 races in a row that Szoke has won with his BMW S 1000 RR.

 

He was joined on the podium by fellow BMW rider Ben Young (CA / Ben Young Racing), who finished both races in third position. Michael Leon (CA / Royal Distributing Racing Team) crossed the line in fourth and fifth.

 

 

SuperBike Series Brasil in São Paulo, Brazil .

 

The fourth race of the 2016 SuperBike Series Brasil (BRSBK) was held in São Paulo (BR) last weekend. After having won the first three encounters of the season on his TecFil Racing BMW S 1000 RR, championship leader Danilo Lewis (BR) was narrowly beaten this time. He finished the race in second on the podium, only 0.043 seconds behind the winner. Diego Petrel (BR / BMW Motorrad Alex Barros Racing) scored a top-five finish, coming home in fifth.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
