Serpent factory driver Mark Green is the 2007 BRCA British 1:8 National Champion. Green won the title perfectly by winning the 10th and penultimate round of the championship at Halifax over the weekend leading home a Serpent 960 1, 2.

Green, the winner of 7 of the championship encounters this year, TQ'd the event ahead of Serpent team-mates Tim Wood and outgoing champion Richard Hicklin who each have also recorded a win this season.

In the final, Green led from the start followed by Wood however the Round 5 winner would retire after just 6 laps due to a broken piston.

Holding the lead Green eventually crossed the finish line a lap up on Hicklin for a 960/Mega 1, 2 finish.

Green now turns his attentions to the 1:8 Onroad World Championships in Argentina where he is one of the favourites having won the Pre-World Event with his 960 back in March.
