Round 2 of the Dutch National Championship was held on May 17/18 at the Baanbrekers in Ruchpen.

Practice (Saturday)
The weather forecast for Saturday was not so good. We arrived at a wet track, but it started to rain… however, in the afternoon the track was dry so everyone still could make just a few laps to settle everything for the day after. So now it was necessary for everybody to get the perfect setup for qualification on Sunday.

2008 was the first time for Futaba OS Cup to cater for both 1:8 and 1:10 classes, similar to DTM Cup which has been held since 2005. Many new faces were seen participating in the Indonesian race some travelling from Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. Weather was good all weekend and traction was up.

Team Serpent Indonesia did well in both classes, taking the win and runner up places in 1:8, and podium finishes in 1:10. Teddy Syach and 10-year-old SDD teammate, Arya Rido, put down great shows. Syach, who is a leading movie star, had film shooting schedule conflict but he was able to film at night and race during the day but over the weekend this meant he only slept for just over 3 hours!!!

Last weekend young Serpent driver Maxim Claes took his 720 to a podium place in the T2 class of the Belgian 1:10 200mm Championships.

After traction roll problems in qualifying, Maxim ended up 5th at the end of the heats. This put him into the Semi Final where he took the win to secure a place in the Main Final.

A great drive in the main race saw the youngster take his Mega ZX powered Serpent to the front of the field before a late clutch problem dropped him back to second were he would finish.

Despite loosing out on the win, Maxim was happy with his performance in Luxembourg and is confident of another podium finish next time out.
