Stu Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 One to watch next year if you haven't seen them already. Saw these at Silverstone and our friend was racing one and its an actual GP too! http://www.ttxgp.com/They do two classes I think its below 7.4Kw and above 7.4Kw its like 400s and 600s pace, Our friend (Rich #48) was in the class below 7.4Kw at Silverstone and did a 13 lap race where he had a poor start against 5 other riders who was all in the above 7.4Kw class so they had an advantage straight away, after the first lap he was last but slowly pulled it back to gain 2nd place then he started to run out of power!! Still this was brilliant considering he was racing against bigger more powerful bikes!! All this was after one practice session on the Friday and then racing on the Sunday!He was the only rider in his class so was guaranteed a podium but to do as well as he did against bigger bikes they took him to spa in belgium to race there!!Anyway heres some pictures of the day from the website it was also aired on motors TV.I did have some video but its rubbish!http://www.ttxgp.com/gallery/main_1309785488__20110619_162957.jpghttp://www.ttxgp.com/gallery/main_1309785683__20110619_164659.jpghttp://www.ttxgp.com/gallery/main_1309785815__20110619_170407l.jpghttp://www.ttxgp.com/gallery/main_1309784804__20110619_163113.jpghttp://www.ttxgp.com/gallery/main_1309784246__20110619_114851.jpgAlso while we was there one of the bikes caught fire and the fire brigade put water over an electric bikes which caused a reaction and made it worse! Batteries!! To put things in to perspective a bit too the above burnt bike was worth £250,000 the one Rich was racing cost £6000 to build!Watch out for it next season its worth a watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratser Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Have seen these the last 3 years at the Isle of Man TT, and every year they get and look better and also get faster.Rutter rode the winner last year there on what looked like a Ducati.
