Their motto was: Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist. Paddy Hopkirk made the British small car a motorsport legend with his overall victory in the Monte Carlo Rally 60 years ago - Timo Mäkinen and Rauno Aaltonen repeated the triumph in 1965 and 1967. Successes that shook up the sports establishment and changed and shaped the MINI brand until today.
The BMW Motorrad Motorsport factory rider family is expanding further with the addition of Frenchman Sylvain Guintoli and Briton Bradley Smith. As riders of the newly formed test team, they will bring their extensive expertise to the development and testing of the BMW M 1000 RR.

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/.
