We’re on Our Way to Morocco to Join the Libya Rally 2015
17.4.2015Our racing team has set off to Morocco. With our „Dakar“ special we are about to start in the opening stage of the Libya Rally. The race track stretches over nearly two and a half thousand kilometres and we will have seven days to get to the finish in the city of 1001 nights, the imperial seat of Marrakech.
MKR Team Passed a Hell of a Test at the Dakar
11.2.2015Spot on. The north-Bohemian MKR Technology team definitely have nothing to be ashamed of. They provided technical support to a total of five racing trucks, building two cars from scratch and constructing engines and electronic systems for three. The team accompanied all five cars along the track. Despite the fact that one third of crews had to quit the famous Dakar Rally, those carrying MKR label arrived at Buenos Aires save and sound. Eventually, the Dakar 2015 mission was 100% completed 100%.
All Five Trucks Made It To The Finish Of The 2015 Dakar Rally!
18.1.2015The fight is over! 37th year of the roughest rally on the Globe has finished. The famous Dakar has come to its end and with it all five trucks of the unique alliance technologically supported by our team. Considering the fact that one third of trucks did not reach the finish in Buenos Aires, this is an unparalleled success.
The Penultimate Stage Of The Dakar AnUnlucky One
18.1.2015Incredible misfortune befell the racers in the penultimate stage of this year’s Dakar Rally. The twelfth timed test proved as rather tricky. Moreover, the crews, already coming close to the finish, had to tackle the intrigues of the track as well as unbelievable technical problems. As a result, Martin van den Brink or Artur Ardavichus with his Roudnice mechanic Daniel Kozlovký were eliminated from the fight for a solid ranking.
Two Stages Left to The Finish The Alliance
16.1.2015There are only two stages left before the 37th stage of the world’s most famous and toughest rally ends. However, five crews onboard the trucks with technological support of our team have promising positions and hopefully will step up the final Dakar Rally 2015 podium together. Nothing changed either after the 11th stage, in which Martin van den Brink finished on eighth position and the remaining four of the trucks from the Czech-Dutch alliance arrived only a little later.
Dakar Touched the Altitude of Five Thousand Metres
15.1.2015The Dakar Rally is heading to its finish, yet the racers have experienced the feelings of mountaineers climbing the Everest. The tenth stage of the famous distance race led the crews from Chile back to Argentina. Technology got as far as five thousand metres above the sea level. Saturday‘ finish is already very close and no one wants to make a mistake. The pilots are more careful and also the differences in the timed stages have been shorter. The town of Salta, final destination of stage ten, witnessed a great finish performance by Martin van den Brink, who is taming a truck built in our workshop. Dandy arrived on thirteenth place.
Fesh Fesh Tortures The Crews, Dandy In The Elite Top Ten Anyway
14.1.2015After a day-long break the crews started out to the concluding week of the Dakar Rally. 37th year of the distance race ends already this upcoming Saturday and so the time has come for the second longest timed stage on day nine. This was beaten most successfully by the leading Russian Mardeev. Artur Ardavichus, carrying our mechanic Daniel Kozlovský, fit in among the ten fastest crews again.
Ardavichus and Dandy Rise Like a Phoenix From The Ashes
12.1.2015Just like the mythical Phoenix rose our Czech-Kazakhstani crew of the Bonver Dakar Project from the fine sand of the Atacama Desert in stage eight of the Dakar Rally. Still in the morning before the start we did not have an idea whether their truck would start in the second half of the world’s toughest race. Our crew mechanic Daniel Kozlovský was able to tackle the technical problems even without proper tools and equipment and the pilot Artur Ardavichus then finished in the elite top ten. However, not everyone had been that fortunate before the day-long rest day.
Ardavichus’s Tatra Stopped By A Burst Piping
12.1.2015Major technical issues came in the way of the turquoise Tatra with our mechanic Daniel Kozlovský on board during the 7th stage of the Dakar Rally. Moreover, the crew had to tackle bad luck right in the midst of the marathon stage, where each truck goes on its own. While none of the crew members was injured, for a long time it was not clear whether they would be able to continue the race.
Dandy makes it to top ten for the first time at the Dakar
11.1.2015Our crew mechanic Daniel Kozlovský on Artur Ardavichus’s crew made it to the elite top ten for the first time since this year’s Dakar started. In contrast, Dakar‘s sixth stage brought bad luck to our Dutch pilot Martin van den Brink. His truck’s turbo broke seventy kilometres before the finish line, which resulted in a three-hour-loss and drop from his current position in elite ten. However, a number of crews had to cope with technical problems, and that included Tomáš Vrátný, who wrenched the steering wheel of his truck.
Our crews assisted others
9.1.2015The trucks‘ crews have concluded the fastest timed section of the 37th year. Those racing with our technology support showed their strength and humanity in the fifth stage. Not only are all five trucks of the Czech-Dutch alliance still „in the game“, but they are able to help the others, too.
Pilots From Our Alliance Improve Their Standings
8.1.2015In stage four, crews of the famed Dakar Rally paid visit to the driest desert on Earth. Fourth day took them to Chile and into the renowned Atacama dunes. These seemed to do good to all the five drivers receiving technical support from our team. Martin van den Brink finished seventh and Tomáš Vrátný lost only two positions on him. The sixteenth truck to finish the stage was Ardavichus’s with our Daniel Kozlovský on board. All of them have moved up the overall ranking.
