RE: TTXGP
From what's in the public domain at the moment, I've heard the names of just 6 riders mentioned in connection with TTXGP:
Maria Costello
Steve McDonald
Paul Owen
Olie Linsdell
Rob Barber
Thomas Schoenfelder
Now, of these I believe Maria has had her TT entry rejected, so cross her off the list. Apparently unless the EVO team find fifty grand by the end of the month we won't be seeing Paul or Olie and there's the rumour going round that there is no supply of hydrogen fuel on the Island and the Steam Packet are not prepared to bring any over. If that's the case then we won't be seeing Mr McDonald either.
Anybody else think this thing is rapidly falling on it's backside?

RE: TTXGP
Hydrogen is used inside the alternators at power stations one wonders if the MEA use it in theirs or perhaps at the energy from waste plant ?
Where I worked it arrived on a special pallet with lots cylinders all connected.................I suspect it was supplied by BOC although we did once have our own hydrogen plant.

RE: TTXGP
Ago it was very clear in the regs that only petrol TT riders would be able to quailify for the TTxGP race and that has been common knowledge for sometime now.
I am lead to believe that some effort to have the quailifing requirements changed is being made..................

RE: TTXGP
sticky Wrote:This is taken from the TTXGP website:
"Manx GP riders who have completed qualifications for the Mountain Circuit in time for the TT will be eligible to take part in the TTXGP without losing access to the Manx Grand Prix. They can race the TTXGP and return to the MGP without penalty.
This ruling applies ONLY to TTXGP and NOT to any other class of the TT.
Our thanks to the Manx Grand Prix for being supportive and allowing this exception within their regulations.
Team TTXGP"
I was always under the impression that the ACU rather than the MMCC had dictated that a potential rider could not qualify for TTXGP alone but had to qualify for another class too. If that remains the case, then MGP riders remain excluded. If that's NOT the case then everybody needs to get their acts together PDQ since entries close tomorrow!
I queried this on the TTXGP site on Saturday. Azhar replied that TTXGP riders will NOT be required to ride in another class at the TT to qualify. This suggests that the 6/5 lap minimum practice rule does not apply to the TTXGP, and that only the two laps of practice, with one within qualifying time will be enough for a start.
I presume this must have been agreed by the ACU, as this was one of my questions.
I also agree that it would have been a good idea if this could have been clarified more that two days before the closing dates for entries, enabling more MGP riders to have the opportunity to take part!
