Dominic Greiner leaves Serpent

In a message on social media, Dominic Greiner has announced his departure from long-time chassis sponsor Serpent. The 2016 IFMAR World and reigning EFRA 1/10th Nitro Touring European Champion leaves behind a very fruitful 7-year campaign that also had its downs, such as running into mechanical troubles while leading during the closing stages of the 2019 IFMAR 1/8th IC Track Worlds final. Dominic for now leaves open what is next for him, and in the meantime he has the following to say:

[…] I must inform that my cooperation with Serpent will end this year. I had a couple of sleepless nights after the world championship, but when I look back the 7 years, in the end I had more bad luck as luck, and lost my motivation step by step. I was even thought about to stop with rc racing, because it is a hard job to be competitive all the time as a semi professional driver with a normal job and limited time to test. But in maybe the best time in my career I want to continue and for that I decided to choose an another car brand for new motivation and a new challenge at least the next two years. I want to thank all the people which were involved in the last 7 years and gave me the opportunity to become one of the best nitro rc driver in the world. Jirka Hassler, Ronald Baar, Michael Salven, Jill Salven, Joaquin Desoto and Mr Lau. I know I was not every time a easy driver, but in the end I guess we did a great job together.
