Team Serpent was able to put 3 Serpent 966 in the A-Main. 3rd, 4th and 9th.

Green made it into 3rd, for a nice podum finish racing a very strong and stable final. Long way comming from the 1/4 finals, but we all know Green likes to get lots of track-time and the Serpent 966 it up to that.

Cristiani was looking good in 4th place, but will be testing more to find a few more tenths in the next few weeks to close the gap, we know he can do it.

Salven had his car working best of all, already very pleased with the car in the semi, but in the final it felt even better. Unfortunately the engine gave up too soon, where performance was good all week, ending chances of a win. Overall happy with the speed and handling of the 966 car, as visible from the godod laptimes early in the final (after the start struggle), still with big tyres.

All in all a good result, and lots of data collected to analyse and discuss within the team.
