Serpent have released their new 966 Team Edition, which includes all the individual parts released for the car since they made their debut at the World Championships in Miami back in April. It includes the new rear upper suspension-set, which uses a ball-link system in place of a wishbone, combined with a new carbon camber bracket improving rear end grip. Also included is the new SL8 2-speed gearbox with very low inertia and 8mm shaft, aluminium side-pulley, new brake disk and 3-pin adapter system. A carbon fibre extension set for the lower rear shock absorber mount moves the lower shock mount more outside and needs a longer lower ball-joint. New front upper suspension moves the pivot-point of the upper arm more to the outside, with a very short upper arm creating a better steering feeling and an even easier to control front end. A new split-type carbon fibre radio plate and front carbon stiffener are connected by a rod so when releasing the 2 front screws of the radio plate, the flex is thus controlled. Finally there is the new version sorter aerodynamic design bumper and updated fuel tank with improved cap, spring and seal.
