22 Sep 2008 | tshego
Motorcycling’s 2009 Isle of Man TT race will include the world’s first ever emission-free Grand Prix.
The Time Trials Xtreme Grand Prix (TTXGP), which is the brainchild of London-based businessman Azhar Hussain, will take place on 12th June.
The event is expected to involve racing teams which are backed by high-tech institutions, international corporations and universities.
Hussain stated: ‘We’re about to make history. Although this is a radical departure from conventional racing, the TTXGP is a stand-alone race and a concept which encapsulates the spirit of the traditional Isle of Man TT.’
The race will follow the Honda 50th anniversary parade lap.
