Macau. The 2017 Macau Grand Prix (CHN) was overshadowed by a
fatal accident in the motorcycle race. The international motorcycle
racing community mourns the death of British Honda rider Daniel
Hegarty. After this sad news, the sporting aspects of the Macau
Motorcycle Grand Prix pale into insignificance.
BMW Motorrad Motorsport would like to express its sincere condolences
to Hegarty’s family, friends and team at this difficult time.
The race was immediately red-flagged after the tragic accident. BMW
riders Peter Hickman and Michael Rutter (both GBR / Bathams SMT
Racing) were classified second and third.
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/.
