If you look at the 13.5 open brushless (running Ride tire) class Felix Law went very well and was in the top 10 all week. The other guys running 4x in that class also went well.

TITC is always a weird meeting. I've raced it for the last 3 years (I missed this year due to work commitments) and I've gone from top 20 in practice down to mid field and below when qualifying began and went onto the controlled tires. Last years Muchmore volante control tire was probably the best we've had consistency wise last year.

Don't forget that Wilck came 3rd at the IFMAR ISTC worlds last year with very little time on the car.
Serpent is a small team in comparison to others so with changing grip, bad tires and so on itīs hard to nail the setup. This weekend itīs ETS in Germany, letīs see how it goes.
