I guess I'm one of the 'moaners' but to re-state my position, I never said TTxGP (as was) shouldn't happen but was very sceptical about how many bikes would show up and history now tells us that it wasn't very many - barely into double figures.  Small though that grid was, it is to this day the biggest grid that electric bike racing has managed to field - anywhere.

As a photographer I actually do appreciate the fact that most of them look different to the usual stuff seen on track at the TT but there simply aren't enough of them and I can't see where any significant increase in the field size is going to come from.

The last mention I could find on Brammo's racing efforts is dated 2013 and they seemed to have been racing against normal bikes - presumably due to the lack of a competitive electric series.  Even in the States they could only manage grids of 5 or 6 in an electric only race.

There is no mention of racing in Mission's erm...mission statement.  They seem to be concentrating on their road going sports bike (although I guess someone could buy one and race it?) but I don't know if it would do a lap or not.  They quote between 105 & 140 mile 'real world' ranges depending on the battery pack used but I can't find any range expectations under race conditions.

I don't speak Belgium-ish but it looks like there will be a Sarolea in 2015 but no mention that I can find of whether it will be on the island this year.

There was talk of the German Munch team building production racers based on the machine they raced in the poorly supported European series but if you click on the racing page of their website all you get is an error message.

The British university teams haven't really made any progress since all this started, so somebody please tell me - where are the entrants to justify the continuation of this concept going to come from?
