A North Bohemian truck from the workshop of Mario Kress took a silver position in the 2nd stage of the Moroccan rally. Pilot Gert Huzink crossed the finish line less than five minutes behind the Czech winner Martin Macík.
With a half-hour lead over the second truck, North Bohemian truck from the MKR Technology workshop wins the introductory stage of the Rally Morocco. In hot weather, the Dutch pilot Gert Huzink left behind the Czech driver Martin Macík.
The MKR Technology team started strong on the Rally Morocco. In the introductory short prologue, Gert Huzink, the Dutch pilot of the North Bohemian truck, finished in the second best time. However, the quick prologue only determined the starting order of Saturday's 1st stage.
MKR Technology goes wild! A quick decision and a quick move to Morocco followed the tests of the Dakar truck of the MKR Technology team last week in Poland. Therefore, this Friday, the North Bohemian racing special truck will be toeing the line of the next edition of Rally Morocco.
The North Bohemian team MKR Technology has completed another intensive testing of Dakar trucks. Last week, the designers spent several days on a sandy surface in Poland. And the main goal of testing of the hybrid special truck was to focus on improving suspension, improving cooling and, in particular, increasing performance and reducing emissions. Team boss Mario Kress is excited about the new challenges.
It is over. The 11th edition of the Silk Way Rally had a very unusual development this year and will go down in history for several reasons. The race course was shortened by half, Russian Sotnikov got third historic victory. However, the North Bohemian truck from MKR Technology has not been forgotten, as it jumped to the final sixth place after the final 5th stage.
Just behind the elite five, the North Bohemian Renault from the MKR Technology workshop finished in the penultimate stage of the Silk Way Rally. Pilot Martin van den Brink and Kozlovský from Roudnice not only successfully tackled the marathon part, but improved by two places before the final stage as well.
The Silk Way Rally is taking a different direction. While according to the original schedule, the crews were to cross the borders of Mongolia on Sunday, but in the end, after the decision of the organizer, they continue exclusively on Russian territory. The changed stage was eventually dominated by Russian Karginov. Martin van den Brink and Kozlovský, technician from Roudnice, finished in the top ten.
Like a deja vu. The North Bohemian truck from MKR Technology arrived in the second stage of the Silk Way Rally in Russia on the same position as in the first stage. For the second time in a row, he was ranked eighth. The winner has not changed as the stage was once again dominated by Russian driver Sotnikov. On top of it, the race was affected by changes.
The Silk Way Rally started with the only North Bohemian truck from the MKR Technology workshop with technician Daniel Kozlovský from Roudnice. After Thursday's ceremony in Omsk, Russia, the first stage took place on Friday and was dominated by this year's Dakar champion Russian Sotnikov. Renault from Chvalín finished eighth in this stage.
One of the most difficult cross country rallies in the world will start on Thursday. The famous Silk Way Rally will leave Omsk, Russia, and North Bohemian truck from the workshop of Mario Kress and the MKR Technology team will be there. In addition, Daniel Kozlovský from Roudnice will be in the cabin with the Dutch pilot Martin van den Brink.
Speed up, better manage heat, reduce weight and ensure the greatest possible comfort for the crew both during the race on unpredictable long-distance tracks and in case of necessary replacements. Such a task was set by the North Bohemian designers of Dakar trucks at their MKR Technology development center in Chvalín. And they are on track to make it. The team boss Mario Kress is satisfied with the tests of the last days.
