Due to work, I could only get to Lostallo on Wednesday evening and started testing and setting up my car on Thursday. Since my Dad had to work the entire week, I was on my own and had no dedicated mechanic.
Michael, Bertram and Stef from Serpent took me under their wing and things worked pretty smoothly.

Team Serpent was able to put 3 Serpent 966 in the A-Main. 3rd, 4th and 9th.

Cristiani was looking good in 4th place, but will be testing more to find a few more tenths in the next few weeks to close the gap, we know he can do it.
Salven had his car working best of all, already very pleased with the car in the semi, but in the final it felt even better. Unfortunately the engine...

Dear racers,
here is a brief summary of a the last few weeks filled with intense racing action all over Europe and even Asia:
First stop: 1/8th scale European B-Championships in Cassino, Italy.
