After a long break the F1 Supercup returned last weekend at La Valletta, Italy. In the F1-70 class Andrea Mariani pushed Matteo Berlincioni hard for the win, however the latter was able to hold on for the victory with William Carrato taking the final podium spot. The F1-70 class showed some solid numbers in terms of drivers attending as well as laptimes, despite the class being based more on looks than tech. In the F1 Class, there was another close battle between the top 3, with the difference in the best laps down to the hundredths of a second. In the end it was Marco Donadelli with the win in front of Simone Brocca, with Fabrizio Villa 3rd.

Serpent have introduced an update to their Medius X20 FWD chassis, with a focus on the car’s steering and drivetrain. While the majority of the car remains the same as its predecessor the car now comes with the all new dual ball bearing DJC shafts in the front, and in the rear the all new ball raced CVDs are included as standard. Giving ultra-smooth & silent torque application throughout the suspension and steering travel. Keeping with their successful dual pivot ball suspension system, they have created even more adjustment to fine tune the handling characteristics. Their new steering hub allows adjustment of axle height, offset and roll centre. Utilising these options has allowed their team drivers to create more corner speed over the previous model. And finally you can now have the option to side mount your LiPo battery.
