Title: TT Zero 2014
Post by: oml on June 05, 2014, 02:16:34 PM
Ahoi,

I just had a look at the TT Zero 2014 times, and, well, WTF?
Honda/Mugen with John McGuinness won with 117.366 mph (19' 17.300) which ist more than a minute faster than last year (20' 38.461). Delta mph are almost 8 which is the biggest step in the history of the TT Zero.

Has anyone found any articles / videos longer than a 3 lines? I more or less missed the whole event, dont even know which day it was.

Proto - the guy you replied to and the guy who replied to you on that article are two feet-forward legends. Paul Blezard and Royce Creasy. Royce wrote the streamlining rules that appeared in the TTXGP technical rules in 2009. Paul has been a major force behind the FF movement (although there is such resistance to it, that it hasn't moved forward that much.
