TTXGP Brings Zero Carbon Race To US
TTXGP partners with Infineon Raceway to bring the first zero carbon
race to the US in May 2010.
Building on the success of the TTXGP zero carbon clean emission
race for electric motorcycles held at the Isle of Man TT in June,
Infineon Raceway will make history as the host of the very first
TTXGP race on American soil.
The TTXGP U.S. Championships will be held May 14-16, 2010, as part
of the raceways AMA Motorcycle Sonoma Showdown weekend. "With the
success of the TTXGP on the Isle of Man, we have shown that zero
carbon technology is ready to deliver the thrills and passion for
both spectators and riders," said Azhar Hussain, founder of TTXGP.
"In partnership with Infineon Raceway, we are taking the next step
and proud to be pushing new frontiers in motor-sports technology
both on and off the track. Competition improves the breed, so we
hope this new US championship will come to be seen as a milestone
event in bringing new transportation technology to the world beyond
motorcycling. We invite the best and the brightest in the world to
join us at Infineon Raceway for the dawning of the next generation
of motor sports in the United States."
Steve Page, president and general manager of Infineon Raceway, is
excited to bring zero carbon motorcycle racing to Northern
California."When it comes to development of zero carbon
motorcycles, Northern California is the center of the industry, so
it makes perfect sense that Infineon Raceway should host the first
event in this historic new series," Page said. "This will be a
terrific addition to our two-wheel racing lineup next May, which
also includes AMA Pro Road Racing and Supermoto."
The TTXGP US Championship will provide an international platform
for the development of electric motorcycles, enabling the
futuristic technology behind them to be tested in an exciting and
challenging way. TTXGP aims to drive low carbon technological
innovation forward, to demonstrate that clean-emission transport
technologies have matured and can be fun, fast and exciting.
