Top Swedish racer Viktor Wilck has announced his departure from long-time sponsor Serpent. Back-to-back podium finisher at the IFMAR ISTC Worlds in South Africa and China, Viktor can look back on a pretty fruitful electric and nitro campaign with the iconic brand and he has yet to announce his new chassis sponsor. In the meantime Viktor had this to say about his departure:

As of 31st dec will be my last day with Serpent company and racing Serpent cars. I would like to thank everybody at Serpent for this last 4years. And especially Mr Lau and Felix Law for all there dedication and support. I have learned a lot during this time and been great to work together with everybody at Serpent. We achieved some great result with a brand new platform and highlights being podium at Reedy Race Invitational and back to back 3rd place at the IFMAR World Championship. I wish everybody the best of luck at Serpent and now looking forward to new challenges.
