Serpent announce the signing of talented Milan Holthuis to their junior on-road team. Milan will be running in the 1/10th 200mm class backed by selected electric touring car races if time allows. This is what Milan had to say:

In the past few years that I joined the 200mm races and I ran different Serpent models. Started with a used 733, up to a new 747 and now with the 748. In 2015 I will run the brand new 748 Natrix TQ edition, and I would like to thank Ronald, Michael and Stef for their support. Hope to celebrate my first victory this year, although the competition in Holland is very strong. I can’t wait to see the new season to begin, specially the EC –A in Turkey as main event. My new school gave me free off already for that. I will race my Heemstede clubraces, as well as the Dutch championships as well, and practise as much as I can. Greetings to all Serpent drivers and good luck this year.
