Official King of the Hammers & WRC Mexico Results, Starting Lists and Rankings 
WRC Rally Mexico Resultados
 
Unlike other teams that get special training at rally driving schools or just simply been racing for years, LWRT is brand new to this rally motor sport and had to learn fast by racing their fast rally, a WRC event, in a rental rally car with limited resources and barely any recce.  
This team has proved that they can race with the top world rally teams.  Ponce has finished 2 WRC events so far in Class A6 without any prior rally experience.  This unique rally team knows how to finish a race and put on a great show for the fans as they proved once again at the KING OF THE HAMMERS 2011, the toughest one day offroad world class race on the planet known to man, where they raced on a limited budget and managed to finish this brutal desert rock race!  
Primer team guanajuatense que compite en el WRC en la categoria A6 y ha logrado terminar sin previa experencia en este deporte motorizado de rally.  En el 2008 el piloto guanajuatense Ponce logro terminar en 2do lugar  (en un auto rentado de Benito Guerra Jr.) y fue nombrado piloto novato en la clase Puegeot 206 y gano la copa Bernardo Audiberto por la mejor tripulacion mexicana.  En el 2010 regreso con Bridge ya en su propio auto y terminaron en 2do lugar en la clase A6 del WRC.  En estas 2 carreras corrieron con llantas usadas.  Ponce tambien es el primer y unico piloto mexicano que compite en el serie Ultra 4 y ha logrado terminar el King of the Hammers, la carrera offroad mas extreme del planeta.  Ponce tambien ha participado y tomado podiums en el Extreme Fun Race en Venzuela, Nordic Trial y EuroTrial en Noruega.
