Richard Hicklin kept Team Serpent UK's impressive run of national championship race victories going over the weekend when he TQ'd and won Round 3 of the BRCA run series at Cotswold.


Running his 960 '08 powered by a Mega MF engine, former British Champion Hicklin claimed the TQ as when he was the only driver to record a 20 lap run in the qualifying heat giving Serpent their 3rd straight pole of the season.

Starting from No.1 position on the grid Hicklin continued to set the pace recording the fastest lap of the race enroute to his first win of the season.  Joining him on the podium was team-mate and Round 1 winner Neil Diver.

The win moves Hicklin to the top of the points table and Team Serpent, the defending champions, will be looking to continue their winning run at Round 4 which takes place at Mendip on June 15th.
