Xcite C. Winkler drives it home to win the MRT Cup 2012/13!



The OWRL MRT Cup 2012/13 has been taken by Xcite C. Winkler. With 6 podium finishes, C.Winkler took the cup using both consistency and speed in a season that remained close until the final round. The Xcite driver took the lead in the second event, after early leader SRT Flip retired from the main race at Aston South after an spectacular crash. Flip had taken an impressive win in the main race at South City Town, starting from 7th on the grid to take the victory with more than 7 seconds to spare after 24 laps in the nimble MRT5.

Going into the final round, contested at Fern Bay Classic, two drivers were on the tail of C.Winkler in the standings. Iron|J.Vähäkuopus was only 11 points behind after his main race victory at round two, whilst CG R.Costa followed closely in third place. The sprint race in FE Classic was used for redemption by SRT Flip. It did no do much for the standings. R.Costa however was not letting his chance for the overall victory go without a fight in the main race. He quickly set off to take the lead and kept a solid gap for the rest of the field. Was it enough to overtake C.Winkler in the standings? No, all the German had to do was to finish on the podium and he did exactly that.

Further joy for Xcite Racing as C.Winkler and K.Egloff grabbed the team championship. With that, the champions of this season are exactly the same as the edition 2 years ago. Congratulations to Xcite C. Winkler and the Xcite team for taking the Cup once more!
