The Championship season 2014 will start without MKR
13.11.2013
Following 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!
We are very grateful to Renault Trucks and our partners like Meritor, Schaeffler, Jurid, Brembo, Fassi, as well as the partners who came with our pilots, for supporting us throughout these four fantastic years. Also, we would like to thank our pilots Markus Oestreich, Markus Bösiger and Adam Lacko for giving superb performance and keeping the team spirit. Last but not least, we want to express our gratitude to our mechanics, engineers and all the people who were a part of this project and helped the team grow. Everybody did an amazing job!
“At the same time, I want to thank for the chance to do truck racing for 25 years on different teams, with the team owners Gerd Körber and Martin Koloc giving me the possibility to grow and reach for the champions’ title with different pilots,”says the boss of MKR team Mario Kress.
Even without truck racing the workshop door will not get locked, because the work continues. “We see our future in other projects we are working on, and these are not only in the racing field,” says Mario with optimism. “As our slogan says, innovation has no limits, it’s just a matter of time and the time will show what comes next,” he concludes.
