TTXGP Promotional Video

[FreepZ]

Enjoy!


Some observations:

• This video has IET all over it. I assume that's The Institution of Engineering and Technology, rather than the Integrated Electric Transmission from SMRE.
• The end of the video says "TTXGP Returns 2010", so I guess it's at least a year old, but I've never seen it before.
• The quote "No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess" was attributed twice. Once to Newton (0:38), and again to Faraday (4:38). (The Internets say that was a Newton quote.)

Very cool video. If you ever get the chance to see the movie, "Charge," you should. It is all about the Isle of Man e-bike race in 2009.

I saw it a few weeks ago and met the director. Really well done. Keep your eyes out for it.

I own a copy of that very fine movie. It's directed by Mark Neale, who also directed "Faster" and more recently, "Fastest," about MotoGP racing.

Hmm... I was wondering where that came from...

At 0:58 of the Charge trailer there is a group of guys talking about wanting to see "Hard men race hard motorbikes..."

That same quote is at the end (6:09) of this video:



And here's another trailer for Charge.

I got pre-release copy from Mark when we were at Hollywood Electrics after a screening at the DGA last month. He is still looking at getting distribution in theaters, but you can get it from his website right now at:

Really good film about electric racing with very interesting people. Also shows the extreme hazards of racing on two wheels. Get a copy and see for yourself.
