The Aprilia Bokor Cup took place in Hungary last weekend and Serpent's off road project development driver Jorn Neumann took the victory to claim the very nice prize of an Aprilia Scooter!!

Held at the Broker-Ring, which is 100km from Budapest, the 1:8 off road race saw Jorn running the prototype buggy from Serpent which was running a number of different parts to that used at the Euros in Crete last month with Jorn reporting the new parts made the car much better.

In the practice Jorn and the buggy's designer Gerd Strenge worked a lot on diff & shock oils and tires. For the Qualifying they had found the perfect set up with Jorn was able to TQ 3 of 5 rounds.

In the Semi Final it was again Neumann that took the top spot for the 45 minute Main. A good fuel strategy allowed the Serpent driver to pull away from the field and at the flag he crossed the line a massive 2 laps up on second placed Martin Bayer to claim the win and the impressive first prize of a Aprilia Scooter.

Afterwards the German off road ace said, 'It was a awesome event and the Bokor team were really helpful and welcoming. The organisation was perfect and what a cool prize for winning the race, an Aprilia Scooter. I hope that I can come back next year.'
