The TT Zero is one of three electric motorcycle racing series which sprang up following the 2009 TTXGP race held on the Isle of Man during the 2009 TT Week. The Isle of Man Department of Economic Development has confirmed on Nov 28, 2010, that in 2011 the TT Zero will be held during TT Week, as they did in 2010.
The Department has created a new "University Prize" of £5,000 which will be awarded to the fastest University or College team in the 2011 race. At least three University teams have participated in either the 2009 TTXGP or 2010 TT Zero, and there are indications of other University teams in development. The prize for the first team to beat a 100 miles/hr lap time is still up for grabs. In the 2010 TT Zero, MotoCzysz was the team who got closest to that goal with a 96.82 miles/hr lap time. Read more
