Further, Serpent USA needed financial aid from Serpent HQ in the past and they were anything but quick with the pay back, which got Serpent on the brink of bankruptcy.
All of their production has been moved to Asia now and they are really struggling at the moment, so I guess, there was simply no budget for the worlds.
i can confirm everything stefan is saying.
I live close to the factory and heard the entire story from first hand.
Parts are real scarse right now and so are
engines and xceed tyres.
But i think serpent will make it, ronald and micheal are really determind to make it work.
