RC Microracing's John Sotiropoulos put in what can only be described as a dominant performance over the weekend during the opening round of the Greek 1:8th National Championships at Arena.



Driving his Serpent 960 powered by the new Mega DS II,  the Athen's driver converted his TQ into a superb victory finishing 2 laps ahead of second place at the end of the 30 minute final.



In addition to Sotiropoulos' great win, Serpent 960s also made up an impressive 50% of the 'A' final field.  In fact of the 29 competitors entered in the event 15 were using Serpent.


After the race Sotiropoulos was full of praise for his new Mega DS II engine and also thanked RC Microracing (Serpent's Greek distributor), Enneti tires and Gammalube fuel for supplying him with a winning package.



Round 2 of the Greek 1:8th National Championships returns to the Arena circuit in five weeks time (1st May).
