FIM + TTXGP = "new series of electric powered motorcycle road racing events"
« on: March 05, 2013, 10:02:32 AM »
Not sure what to make of this yet, but the good news is that they have finally coordinated on making a joint announcement.  The bad news is, still no calendar.

I am afraid it will be more expensive for teams as (international) travel seems to increase...

I don't think so, and here's why.  The next two years the series will be a support class for major FIM races.  That mans they will be in front of massive crowds which I have been told by the teams it makes it much easier to get sponsorship money.  Also, if you have watched the FIM has money and logistics to get teams to the races, ie. euro teams to the FIM Laguna rounds and Lightning to France for the FIM round.

So, they will need more money, but the money will be much easier to get.
