Just want to share this news and probably you all have known it already. It had been going round all over the forums and at most racers meeting. So it is about time for the big boys of Serpent to come up with their own words on all these stories.

The facts
Serpent Headquarters remains based in Heemstede, Holland, at a smaller location than before.. At Serpent head-quarters general project-management, r&d, marketing and sales are being done.
