We Are Fine-tuning Our Own Truck for the Dakar Rally
9.10.2014In the past few years we repeatedly succeeded in reaching the highest ranks of the European Truck Racing Championship series. In addition to that, we also managed to win the prestigious Constructers‘ Trophy twice in four years. Our newest goal is to make a breakthrough into the world of long-distance rallies. Our team developed a brand new racing special exclusively for the legendary Dakar Rally and our ambitions for the most respectable long-distance race on the globe are high. The unique project has been labelled MKR Adventure.

25.2.2014
Some unforgettable moments came along with our team
13.12.2013There won’t be a five-year anniversary to celebrate for our team. Yet the project brought to life by the German constructor Mario Kress made its mark in the history of truckracing during the four years of its existence. Each year on the starting grid brought something new and unforgettable.
Britain’s Levett takes the opportunity of „a goodbye ride“
29.11.2013Last testing session, last drives, the last chance to enjoy a ride. At least for this year. The traditional autumn testing was our way to say goodbye both to the past season and our four-year presence at the circuits within the European Truckracing Championship. As a result, the invitation was accepted by a number of guests and pilots.
The Championship season 2014 will start without MKR
13.11.2013Following a mutual agreement with Renault Trucks we have decided to leave truck racing as an active racing team. The MKR Technology team was happy to enjoy a great cooperation with Renault Trucks since 2010. Together we achieved the titles of European champion in 2010, vice-champion in 2011 and finally, champion again in 2012!
What are the plans for the new truckracing season?
3.11.2013The FIA - International automobile federation published a draft version of the calendar for the new European Truckracing Championship season. It includes as many as twelve racing weekends, which means two extra events in contrast with the past year. However, it is still a mystery what the new calendar is actually going to look like. The autumn draft version tends to differ significantly from the actual schedule, both in terms of the number of races and their dates.
The toughest season brought a historic result, too
27.10.2013This year’s European Truckracing Championship is in the past now and the time has come to look back a little. What was it like for the duo of our pilots in terms of point gains, podium placing and individual success or failures?
FIA awarded the best truckers and our team
21.10.2013The best truck racers of the past European Truckracing Championship’s season accepted awards for their performances. The FIA representatives presented them again, like in the two preceding years, directly at the French circuit of Le Mans. It has always been Jochen Hahn to accept the trophy there – and the situation was no different this year, as he completed the golden hattrick. Although a Czech team driver was missing from the winners‘ podium in the end, our team came to collect a bronze medal in the so called „Constructors“ trophy“.
Le Mans gave birth to the champion. Hahn defends the title
14.10.2013The fight is over! The chequered flag was flapped one last time before the truck racers‘ eyes. This year’s European Championship title was seized again by Germany‘s Jochen Hahn, who has thus completed a golden hattrick. We had to wait until the last season’s race at the Le Mans circuit to have the name of the old-new champion confirmed.
Le Mans brings a double podium
13.10.2013Our wish came true! Last year’s double podium was repeated today at Le Mans. On the first day of the European Truck Racing Championship event at the famous circuit in France the top two steps on the ceremonial podium belonged to our drivers Markus Bösiger and Adam Lacko.
The season will peak in Le Mans
11.10.2013The time has come! This year’s truckracing season will come to its conclusion. Already this weekend the European Truckracing Championship is coming to its end with its final round. The truckers will meet again in France at the famous Le Mans circuit.
Adam is the first foreign pilot ever to win the Spanish Championship
9.10.2013Adam Lacko has become the first Czech winner of the Spanish Truckracing Championship. For the first time in the history the triumph has been celebrated by a non-Spanish pilot. On top of that, our racer left behind the multiple champion and hot favourite of this year’s European Truckracing Championship series Antonio Albacete.
