This German Club, www.mac-saar.de, is really fan of the Porsches, mainly in 235mm class and also in 1/5.
The idea for a Porsche 911 Cup with the 235mm class is spreading.
Serpent is about to release a 2006 style Porsche Cup 911. At the same time Serpent will also offer a complete Serpent Porsche Cup car/body/engine package to get even more racers started in this new class.

2006 Winter Wind-Up (text by Garen Hagobian) (24/01/2006)

Racing in Vegas is always fun, even if it means being in slightly colder weather than we are used to here in Southern California. This year marked the second running of the Winter Wind Up, held by the 4 Aces at the Silver Bowl. With nearly twice as many entries as last year, the race is starting to shape up as the premier early season race. With reps from Mugen, Kyosho, Delta, and of course Serpent on hand to help locals and privateer racers, this race is an excellent chance for drivers to get the latest info from team drivers and for the elite racers to get first bragging rights of the year....
