On both occasions, Davey Todd (GBR) topped the podium after winning with his WEPOL Racing team RR. He also recorded the fastest lap time in both races. In race one, Todd’s team-mate Marek Červený (CZE) and Erno Kostamo (FIN / 38 Motorsport) completed the podium in second and third places respectively. BMW riders Didier Grams (GER / G & G Motorsport by BMW Motorrad) and Daley Mathison (GBR / WEPOL Racing) followed in fourth and fifth. A total of eight BMW riders finished in the top ten. In race two, Grams secured second place on the podium and Kostamo finished third again. Červený crossed the line in fourth. This time, a total of seven RR riders reached the top ten.

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 are available at www.bmw.de/wltp and at www.dat.de/co2/.
