Vincent took his time to check out the Serpent Cobra intensively before to make his decision.
The RB backed driver has tons of experience in offroad, and will be a good asset to the French Team to support the French Serpent drivers.
Mid august the next round of the French Championship is on, so some practise time remains.
Vincent, make it happen !
