Serpent factory driver Massimo Fantini has TQ'd his 960 '08 for the European Championships which are taking place in Valencia, Spain, this week.


The World Championship Top Qualifier and former European Champion set the pace in the second of the four qualification heats at the Autet circuit making the most of the cooler track conditions on Saturday morning to record the fastest 5 minute run narrowly missing out on 18 laps.

Joining Fantini in the Top 4 at the end of qualifying to ensure at least two Serpent 960s in the Main Final was Serpent Driver Development team member Oscar Cabezas driving his Mega powered example.  The Spanish ace also recorded the fastest lap of the event todate with a new lap record time of 17.379 seconds.
