German Team Serpent driver Markus Mobers reports on the final of the West German Championship -
Last weekend the last qualifier for the 1:10 Nitro Nationals took place at the all new Düren track. The RMC Düren had built a brand new track, which was a challenge for everybody. The new layout is fantastic and has fast passages as well as technical parts.
Tim Wood secured his second BRCA British National Championship win of the 2008 season over the weekend when he took victory in the seventh round at Halifax to maintain Serpent UK's 100% winning record.

On the weekend of 16/17 August the Luxembourg National Championship was held at the spectacular up & down Mini Circuit, Luxembourg. With registration open to other countries the competition level was very good for this year's race.

Over the weekend young Serpent driver Tobias Hepp took his Mega ZX powered 960 '08 to victory in the German Region West 1:8 Onroad Championship.
Last weekend the 4th round of the Belgian Championship was held at the track of Roeselare. I came straight from “every day 35°” Spain to “4 seasons in one day” Belgium. The weather forecast wasn’t so good for the weekend with sunshine turning to wind & rain and then sunshine again, so grip was changing every hour.
Team Serpent Ireland driver Keith Dempsey headed home a 1-2 for the 720 in the fifth round of the ORCA Club Championships in Dublin last weekend with team-mate Robert Boylan taking the runners up spot.
Starting from pole having TQ'd the event, Dempsey cruised to his first win of the series using his 720 '08 to set the fastest lap of the race along the way. Having started from 3rd on the grid, teenager Boylan was able to take second after second place qualifier Eoin McGeough dropped 2 places to finish fourth.
The A Final saw no less than six Serpent's make up the 10 car grid.
