2023 1/8 Euros in Vila Real, Portugal, is already in the books.
Tough and crazy week for us, first 1/8 race in this scale after I think 15 years, where some technical issues throughout the week, and maybe some unfortunate events didn’t allow us a better outcome…😅
I don’t remember such disastrous Qualifications with DNF, unworthy crashes, 48 rear tyres hardness…
In the 1/4 finals when we were in a comfortable 2nd position, the car was super good, and everything looked great, we had an stop&go in the pits, and then I lost a lot of time overtaking other drivers and missed the semifinal...

We arrived at the track on Monday afternoon, a really big and twisty track where we are not used to riding. The car immediately proved to be very easy to drive but not fast enough in the first two days. Thanks to the advice of Michael Salven and Oliver Mack we managed to find a really fast setup in all track conditions. After the controlled tests we managed to enter the fastest qualifying group. After qualifying we are in tenth position, a really incredible result!!! In the semifinal we start with number 4, unfortunately two contacts do not allow us to access the final. In LCQ we didn't start due...

We arrived to this nice track on Sunday to be on the track on Monday morning for the first practice. During the practice days we tested some different things on our Serpent 990, thanks to the support of Michael Salven, Joaquin Desoto and the rest of pilots of the Team Serpent. The car was good on the last heats of practice and also the engines on point. So, we were ready for the qualification rounds.
Qualification started very good. On the first day we got two great qualys with a 7th and a 8th overall; so there was good points in the pocket for the next day!

As we got to the track we finished breaking in our engines for the race, after which we started testing a few things on the car. The basic setup was a good starting point and the changes we made were very few. Since the track had a low level of grip we decided to soften the oil of the two differentials, we went from 1,000,000 in front to 500,000 up to 300,000, and behind instead from 50,000 to 30,000.

European championship zagreb
From the first day, the car immediately proved to be fast and easy to drive with our basic set up, on a technical track with little grip. As a result we lowered the rating of the diffs and eased the clutch.
In the following days we perfected the set up of the model by modifying the toe, and also the camber based on tire wear.

Every year new engines are being developed as the Engine manufactures squeeze more power or RPM out of a .21 sized nitro engine. It could also be that more short tracks are running GT than ever before. Either way, it is very important that we keep up on what is happening in the market. Our current SRX8 GT cars have an internal ratio of 13/44, and it was great for a majority of conditions, however, times have changed and a larger range is needed. Now we made an optional ratio 12/44, creating a class specific ratio. Although it seems like a minor change, the on track performance can be quite huge....
