I've never been a big Serpent follower because they were mainly in onroad gas racing and I was in electric off-road racing, but they have some interesting stuff going on at the moment!

First they have a nice article about indy car champion Sebastien Bourdais racing a Serpent car in the pits at the indy car race in Assen, The Netherlands.

But there is some much bigger news: they just released a note on their website stating that they hired the guy who built the Durango off road cars , Gerd Strenge, and his team driver, Jörn Neumann. I never heard of the Durango cars, but they look great, quite different from other cars. Apparently he only built a few but they won a lot of races.

At the bottom of the announcement they mention that they are building and testing an 1:8th scale off-road car plus they are getting into 1:10th scale electric off-road racing. It states that they will bring a prototype 4WD car to the upcoming worlds in Japan that's starting in just a weeks time! I presume they are also working on a 2WD car because it says they are working on several projects. I for one am really curious to see what they come up with in the coming months!
