AYDOFF X-Trial Finale Goes Down to the Wire
The final round of the 2018 Marmara X-Trial Cup was organised by the Anatolian Side Nature Sports and Off-road Club (AYDOFF) with the sponsorship of Crawler Karavan and Power Winch on 22-23 December 2018 at Riva, Beykoz, Istanbul. 
With 15 vehicles and 30 competitors taking part in a contest featuring highly demanding stages, excitement was at fever pitch, as this was also the cup finale. On the race course at Riva, the crews battled it out over two days in terrain made even tougher by the wet weather.
With the vehicles classified in two separate categories, extreme and prototype, the extreme category was won by Osman Balkı-Cemafer Bulut, with Selim Ustaoğlu-İhsan Pekayla second and Muharrem Kuzlu-Sedat Çavuşoğlu third. Among the prototype vehicles, which completed the course in much less time, Ali Fuat Bilgin – Ali Fuat Demirci took the win, ahead of Seda Özkutlu – Şahhaydar Argaç in second and Emirhan Kutlu – Uğur Demirci in third. 
After this event, in the prototype category of the Marmara X-Trial Cup, the cup winners were Seda Özkutlu – Şahhaydar Argaç, with Emirhan Kutlu – Uğur Demirci as runners-up and Kubilay Tüfekçi – Orhan Doğan third. In the extreme category, the cup was won by Umut Uyar – Gökhan Yalçın, with Musa Ceylan – Muharrem Ekebil second and Nurullah Ateş – Yusuf Uyar third.
