Twenty-three electric motorcycles will line up for the start of the world’s first zero-emissions grand prix, a 37-mile dash around the famed Isle of Man that’s drawn riders no less impressive than the machinery.
Eighteen teams have answered the challenge thrown down by British entrepreneur Azhar Hussain, who founded the TTXGP motorcycle race to prove going green doesn’t mean going slow. Teams will descend on the Isle of Man – home of one of the oldest and most storied races in all of motorsports – from as far away as India for the June 12 event.
“We are thrilled with the high level of interest the TTXGP has generated globally, and the superb quality of the teams that will be involved,” Hussain said in a statement.
The bulk of the teams come from the United States and the U.K, but other countries we’ll see on the grid include India, Germany, Austria and, of course, the Isle of Man… Details, pictures, teams and riders
