Pro Tips with Jilles Groskamp – Part 1

The 8th round of the British 1/10th scale 200mm Nationals were run over the weekend at the Cotswold track under dry and sunny conditions. With many quick drivers in attendance it was Serpent racers Mark Green and Kyle Branson that took the first 2 spots in qualifying, with the latter heading the championship standings entering into this final round. In the final, the top 2 qualifiers shot off into the lead battling it out at the front until Kyle was able to get to the head of the field, where he stayed to take the win from Green in 2nd and Xray driver Robin Hammet 3rd. This win was enough to secure the 14 year old Serpent SDD/Sirio driver the 2008 National title.
