Misano brought silver to Adam

Misano brought silver to Adam
How extremely equal the competitors of the European Truck Racing championship are was proved by their performances in the first race event in Misano, Italy. This fact made the fights very tough, yet even our pilot Adam Lacko managed to step up onto the podium once. Adam gained points for the silver position, which was his best performance on the local circuit in his personal history. If it wasn’t for Markus Bösiger’s penalization, we could be celebrating a podium double tonight. more

From press conference straight to the hospital – Adam welcomes a son
He had to hurry from the press conference straight to the labour bed! It was not just another manic Monday for our pilot Adam Lacko. In the morning he joined his team to attend the press conference on the new European Truckracing Championship season, which starts this weekend in Misano, Italy, only to be present to the birth of his firstborn son a few hours later. Perhaps it was thanks to his driving skills that he managed to get to his wife Kateřina in time – but just like in a race, it was a matter of seconds. more

The highest number of Czech pilots in the history of the European Truckracing Championship series competed in its past season. Although only three of them participated in all racing weekends, there was a moment when four Czech-born drivers stood on the starting grid. The most closely watched combat featured Adam Lacko and David Vršecký. The overall results made the bronze medalist Adam Vršecký an indisputed number one after he had replaced Buggyra’s David Vršecký on the position in the previous season already. The often discussed ratio of their duels clearly favours our pilot as opposed to his Roudnice-based competitor. more

Yet all of that time they spent hidden behind the names of the team and its pilots. People don’t usually get to meet them, but without them, victory wouldn’t be possible.
