About SDD (Serpent Driver Development)

Early in 2006 Serpent Motorsport announced its pioneering 'Serpent Driver Development' program or SDD for short. Aware of the importance of encouraging young racing talents, who are the future of the sport, it established this new program to support, develop and nurture the careers of r/c racing’s most promising young drivers. Under the SDD program, four young drivers will be selected each year to receive factory support and tutelage from the five-times World Champion manufacturer.

In addition to receiving support and the use of a Mega powered Serpent race chassis for the duration of the season, each driver will more importantly receive technical support direct from the factory and become a protégé of one of the sports top racers, Serpent’s chief designer Michael Salven.
