Mark Green continued Serpent's domination of the BRCA British 1:8 National Championship last weekend when he took his fifth win of the season at Brooklands.
Having missed the 5th round of the championship, which was won by Serpent 960 driver Tim Wood, Green returned to the championship in style TQ'ing for the event before going on to take his fourth win of the season.
The win was Green's most difficult yet as a flame out lost him the early lead but the Serpent factory driver put in a superb recovery drive to reclaim the lead and win by a one lap margin from 2nd placed Gareth Bell.

Serpent completed an impressive double at the prestigious Trofeo Novarossi race at Fiorano over the weekend with former European B Champion Andrea Cristiani taking victory in 1:8 while Giorgio Smacchi enjoyed similar success in the 1:10 A Final.
Attracting a star line up of drivers including two current European Champions and Japanese star Masao Tanaka, 118 racers were greated by sunny conditions at the Jody Scheckter circuit.
In 1:8 there was an intense battle for pole but it was Cristiani driving his Max powered 960 that topped the time sheets and the young Italian star was to convert that...

The emerging young Belgian talent sent us this report from the successful weekend -
Round 4 of the Belgian Championship was held at the (rather bumpy) track of Bierset.
As I arrived, I took a look at the track and I was wondering what was best … soft shocks or hard ones? On Saturday I first tried a soft setup but the car was just jumping around the...

Teenager Toon Deyaerts was in winning form once again when the Belgian 235mm National Championship travelled to the bumpy Bierset track for Round 4.
Interesting it was not Deyaerts on pole for the final, the 15-year-old being denied the TQ position for the first time this season by Round 2 winner Roger Capelleman.
Run in much welcomed sunny conditioned the A Final saw a number of lead changes but in the end it was youth that came out on top over experience with Deyaerts winning by 10 seconds from Capelleman with Heremans completing the podium.
With 3 wins from 4 races to his credit Deyaerts...
