Hello Racers,
After taking a few days to relax and enjoy my family, here I am to report about my experiences at the WC.
The trip started at the Miami airport, were I meet DJ. After flying for a little more than nine hours, we finally landed in Zurich. There my Kamikaze friends Nigel and Sam were already waiting for us to start our trip to Lostallo. We got to the track early afternoon, and we could not believe our eyes. The track was huge, so big that a fifth scale will looks like a sedan in one of our big US tracks. The driver stand also was proportional to the track. It was a 3 story building...

It was a very nice race there and I finished in 35th place in this 2009 World Championship.
We were testing a lot with set-up, bodies, engines and after the qualification I took the 42 place so I was in the 1/8 finale.
I was able to finish 3rd in the 1/8 final and thus bumped up to the 1/4 final, which made me very happy! My Serpent 966 was so great. My dad did a very good job to find this perfect setup. My dad was working together with Matthias Meister in the pitlane! Thanks to them I made such good result as they made such a great job!

EC 1/10 Italy: Sabrina reports (11/08/2009)

- Serpent 733-EVO 1/10 scale 4wd, Serpent 733-TE 1/10 scale 4wd, European Championship 1/10 at the Gubbio track in Italy
We started our trip to Gubbio on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Jirka Hassler from Serpent Europe, who was kind enough to be my mechanic for the EC, picked me up and we began the 700 km trip.
We finally arrived early Sunday morning and a lot of work was waiting for us already. Italian Serpent driver Giordano Agostinelli had not received his 733 yet and in a team effort, involving the Baumgarten and Gruber families, we managed to get his car build that day.
I was really lucky, that I had received my kit earlier and my Dad was able to build it in the week before the race.

Kyle was in good shape at the UK Nationals in Brighton after his semi-final position with 733 at the EC in Gubbio.
Due to a late delivery of parts for 733 he had to stay with the 720-09, but was fast as ever.
TQ-ing 4 secs ahead of Serpent Team mate Johnathan Dobney.
In the final Kyle went into the grass and had to re-join in 10th and worked his way up the filed to still finish 1st ahead of Team mate Johnathan Dobney.
