The Serpent Nations Cup is a team event. Each team will consist of four drivers each of whom will play an equal part in the race format.
Run over two legs, points will be awarded at the end of each day. The team with the highest combined score will be declared ‘Serpent Nations Cup’ Champions.
THEME?
While serious racing will be the main element of the Serpent Nations Cup, Serpent Motorsport once again aim to use the event as an end of season celebration for its drivers. By running it as a team event we hope to continue to encourage the sharing of information among our drivers.
We also want to build on the friendships made in Spain last year and introduce more Serpent communities to one another in the company of our Portuguese hosts.
