ADAC GT4 Germany: Hofor Racing by Bonk Motorsport wins the 2020 title.

At the end of an exciting final weekend of ADAC GT Germany at Oschersleben (GER), the 2020 title went to a BMW M Customer Racing team. The newly-crowned champions are Hofor Racing by Bonk Motorsport, Gabriele Piana (ITA) and Michael Schrey (GER). Piana and Schrey laid the foundations for their title win with victory in Saturday’s race in their BMW M4 GT4. Sixth place in Sunday’s final race was then sufficient for the pair to clinch the title with a two-point advantage. Their team-mates Claudia Hürtgen and Sebastian von Gartzen (both GER) came home seventh and eighth in the two races. Georg Braun and Stephan Grotstollen (both GER) from the Lillestoff team finished tenth in race one and 13th on Sunday. Braun and Grotstollen won the Trophy competition of the series. The AVIA Sorg Rennsport and MRS GT Racing teams also ran the BMW M4 GT4 in the 2020 season of ADAC GT4 Germany.

DTM Trophy: Podium for Walkenhorst Motorsport at the Hockenheim finale.

The inaugural season of the DTM Trophy drew to a close with another podium for the BMW M4 GT4. Ben Tuck (GBR) of Walkenhorst Motorsport came home second to earn a spot on the podium in Sunday’s race at the finale at Hockenheim (GER). Tuck was also the best-placed BMW driver in race one on Saturday, finishing fifth. Luke Wankmüller (GER) was sixth and ninth in the FK Performance BMW M4 GT4. Max Koebolt (NED / Walkenhorst Motorsport) also claimed top ten finishes in the two hard-fought races at the Hockenheimring. He came home ninth and eighth. Tuck ended the twelve-race season on the overall podium, third in the Drivers’ Championship. Behind him, in fourth place, was Ben Green (GBR) from the FK Performance team, who also won the Junior competition. Green, whose BMW M4 GT4 sported Chan Wen Bin’s (MAS) winning design from the BMW M4 GT4 livery contest at Hockenheim, was unfortunate at the finale and failed to finish both races.

Italian GT Championship: Endurance finale at Monza.

Monza (ITA) hosted the final race of the Endurance class in the Italian GT Championship at the weekend. BMW Team Italia secured pole position with the BMW M6 GT3 at the fast circuit in the Royal Park. Stefano Comandini (ITA), Marius Zug (GER) and Jesse Krohn (FIN) shared the driving duties. However, Sunday’s three-hour race did not run smoothly for the trio, whose race was brought to a premature end after contact with another car. Their team-mates Francesco Guerra and Nicola Neri (both ITA) finished second to claim another podium in the GT4 class. The final race weekend of the Italian GT Championship features sprint races again and takes place at Vallelunga (ITA) on the first weekend in December.

British GT Championship: GT4 victory for Century Motorsport at Silverstone finale.

The BMW M4 GT4 was victorious at the final round of the 2020 British GT Championship at Silverstone (GBR). Century Motorsport made it onto the top step of the podium in the final race of the year with Rob Wheldon and Andrew Gordon-Colebrooke (both GBR) winning the GT4 class in the #42 BMW M4 GT4. They took the chequered flag over a lap clear of their closest rivals. Their team-mates Ben Hurst and Adam Hatfield (both GBR) finished seventh in the class.

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/.
