Leading into the 7th (and final) round of the Danish nationals things were looking good in nitro truggy and buggy. In both classes we had the opportunity to claim the titles but things really needed to go our way as the 6th round was cancelled due to bad weather.
Saturday,
Unfortunately we had some bad weather leading up to the race and it was decided at the drivers meeting to cancel E-buggy and nitro truggy because of the conditions, the track was simply too wet to get a good raceday. However the weather looked promising and that would give the track a change to dry up for Sundays nitro...

The Serpent Viper 989 is the latest development of Serpent on the 1/8 gas market.
Serpent has been the driving force for decades and the Viper 989 is the latest interpretation of a high performance race car based on that experience, combined with the latest insights on weight, weight distribution and flex.
As the inventor of the Centax clutch, the 2-speed gearbox and many other things that are now industry standard, we also integrated some new solutions on the suspension.

The european championship started very bad for all. We had the whole Monday rain. Only one hour at the end of the day the track was dry and most of the drivers has done here first laps with almost 15 cars on the track. I drove only 10 formation laps that everything works well for the next practice day. Tuesday was complete dry and we could drive arround 8 times with 8 minutes time. The setup must be changed a little bit compared to the Efra GP because the front tires were a bit harder compared to this race. From the efra GP we knew where our problems were so we focused on the tire wear. So after...

THIRD ROUND SPANISH NATS REPORT HELD IN VALLADOLID
This time we were not able to attend Friday free practice because working reasons, so we started our race Saturday morning.
In Spain we have one hour of free practice on Saturday morning for the drivers who didn’t practice on Friday. So we started the free practice early in the morning and from the first lap the car was pretty ok. We were using a PICCO MONZA which gives us a lot of power, however in some corners it has lack of fuel. As we didn’t have time to fix that issue we tried an VS R03 engine which has less power but was constant all...
