Munich. The seventh round of the 2017 British Superbike Championship (BSB) in Thruxton (GBR) was overshadowed by a fatal accident in the Superstock class. The BMW Motorrad Motorsport community mourns the loss of Mark Fincham (GBR), who competed at Thruxton with team True Heroes Racing.

 

Fincham’s tragic accident happened in the second Superstock race on Sunday. He was immediately treated by the BSB medical staff but succumbed to his injuries. BMW Motorrad Motorsport’s thoughts are with his family, friends and team at this difficult time. After this sad news, the sporting aspects of the weekend pale into insignificance for the BMW racing family.

 

In the Superbike class races, Peter Hickman (GBR / Smiths Racing BMW) had claimed one victory and one second place at Thruxton. In the Superstock class, Michael Rutter (GBR / Bathams SMT Racing) and Adam Jenkinson (GBR / Northern Escalator Installations) scored podium finishes.

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/.
