> Serpent Factory Team
The Serpent Factory Race Team may have the dream job that takes them around the world but they play a vital role in the development of our products. Our line-up of top international racers allows us to compete at the sharp end of major competitions such as the European and World Championships. By racing at this high level our drivers can provide us with valuable technical feedback allowing us to constantly improve the products we offer our customers.
In addition to representing Serpent in top flight events across the globe, each member of our team has a busy test program in which they evaluate new products as we strive to offer all racers the complete winning package. Our team drivers also attend many races in a supporting role hosting 'Tech Talks' and sharing their set-up information with fellow Serpent racers as well as gathering valuable customer feedback about our products.
