A strong start of the season of Schar. The S710 combo with the Mega ZX12 worked really well.
A blistering storm in the night of saturday and sunday took away some grip, but on the sunday in the 2nd part great racing again.
Schar was lapping faster than anyone else on the track, but the tire-consumption was big, so after 20 minutes the car was without rubber.
In the main final Kunz took the win.

It wasn’t all that long ago that if you wanted to get a trick car chassis, you were forced to look to the aftermarket. It seemed that the cars’ own manufacturers were not all that interested in making ‘aftermarket-esqe’ components — such as different chassis plates — that offer more tuneability and performance for their cars.
Well, those days have passed, as is evidenced by the abundance of the high-quality tuning options that car manufacturers are offering from their own product catalogues.
This is brought into sharp focus by Serpent’s release of a new LCG (low centre-of-gravity) chassis...

French Nitro Tour in Paris (11/05/2006)
- By:
- Steven Cuypers
Hi folks,
On the weekend of the 29th-30th of April the Serpent Nitro Tour decended
to France, Paris (Carole) to be exact.
This is also the track on which the upcoming European Championship B
will be held in 3 weeks.
It’s a beautiful track with a sweeper at the end of the straight and a lot of
turns where you don’t leave the throttle before deep into the corner,
you have also a chicane in the part just before the straight which you take
on throttle to be quick, so it’s rather technical.

The first visit of the Serpent Nitro Tour to France may not have produced any races due to rain but the hospitality of hosts RB Products and the club at Carole more than made up for the disappointment.
