MKR recorded wins in a half of all races, pilots jumping up to the podium six times Zolder - (21.09.2011)
Altogether twice and both times in the main races did the MKR team attack its historic result from Most, where they had filled the entire winners‘ podium. Although the audience of the eighth European Truck Racing Championship event at the Belgian track of Zolder did not have a chance to see the spectacular triple, pilots in grey-and-red racing suits participated in every medal ceremony. All in all, they jumped up to the podium six times,...

MKR reach for their historical maximum - (30.08.2011)
No one else has ever done that! The Czech truck racing team of MKR Technology recorded an exceptional triumph – occupying the entire winners‘ podium at the seventh event of the European Truck Racing Championship in Most. Pilots in the black-and-red Renaults did not leave space for anybody else on the podium. The historic moment is even more significant due to the fact that the result was witnessed by home audience in the most closely...

All three drivers in tandem and heading towards the podium. - (20.06.2011)
Sunday’s racing at the fourth stop of the European Truck Racing Championship at the Nogaro circuit in France saw all three MKR drivers spend the whole day in a beautiful tandem formation.

Hard fights in Nogaro brought us two fourth place finishes - (19.06.2011)
Having been so close, twice we didn´t reach the podium during the first day of the fourth stop of the European Truck Racing Championship at the Nogaro circuit in France. In a very close timed practice for the starting positions in the main race, tenths of seconds were decisive.

Mario: Our opponents did a great job but my guys tried their best - (31.05.2011)
He always crosses his fingers tight. Every race, every training session, on and on again as his pilots slam the gas pedals of Renaults he has built, he sticks to his ritual no matter what. Our team’s boss Mario Kress literally lives for truck racing and works with his team in that way – to be the one who dictates the pace of the European championship series.

Sunday´s hell softened by Bosiger´s podium - (31.05.2011)
Absolute bad luck came in the second day´s racing in Misano, Italy. Although we could be happy for Markus Bosiger´s third place in the main cup race there were incidents in both Sunday races that didn´t make us happy at all. Hahn´s performance was consistent with Saturday with nobody able to match him.

Oestreich visits the podium twice - (31.05.2011)
Twice during the first day at the Italian circuit of Misano Markus Oestreich stood on the podium. In the first cup race he took third place and he followed that up with second place in the handicap race. The king of the day was the German, Jochen Hahn, who won both races at the second round of the European truck racing championship.

Oestreich had no competition again, Lacko had bad luck - (31.05.2011)
Our Markus Oestreich showed again that it is very difficult to compete with him. After his victory on the first day of the championship he was again the king of Sundays main race. Following his second victory of the weekend he then added a third position in the handicap race. The English track at Donington suited him perfectly and his results gained him the lead of the drivers championship.

The front is packed, but Oese won the main race - (31.05.2011)
Qualifying for this year’s opening round of the European championship was extremely competitive. This was not only proven by the times from the first part of qualifying, but also during the fight for super pole. How the drivers lined up on the grid was decided by hundredths of a second. The first six drivers were all within one second of each other! Unexpected, but very much reality.

Lacko: Mario makes our team the favourite - (31.05.2011)
The twenty-six-year old Adam Lacko has become our new weapon in the upcoming battle for the title of the European champion. We have welcomed an equally ambitious and a young pilot. As a Czech team we wished to have a Czech driver among us. The native of Čeladná should be an excellent choice because just like ours, his goals are not small. And what are his views exactly?
