The Copa das Americas race took place last weekend in Brasilia Brazils Capital.

Flavio Elias took TQ spot and won the Category 1/8 with his 966, follow by his team mate Renato Paiva in 3rd place. Victory for  Flávio Elias with Serpent 966  
 



Flavio (Serpent 966/Collari) had prepared himself very well for this race, knowing that it would be a very difficult, because the track had been renewed with lots of traction and would demand a great deal of the chassis and of transmission,
But the 966 showed its extraordinary performance  and it left nothing to be desired.
 
Jeferson (mechanic) put much devotion in the preparation of the Flavios 966 .
 
Renato Paiva  placed 3rd  had a great duel/battle  during the 45 minutes final with Guillerme Rodrigues for the 2 position.  With different tactics it opted to not making the exchange of tires and stops a little longer.

With 5 Serpent 966 cars in the final a great result !!

In the category 1/10 Flavio was very fast in the final , with 3 minutes started to lead the race with a impressive performance of its Serpent 733 but lamentably a dirt of the track entered in its transmission causing its breaking.

Thanks for the super performance of Team Serpent Brasil and the track-club for the super race.

Serpent Brasil.
