6th December, 2008 NEC Bike Show - Evo Design Solutions are proud to announce the EV-0 RR as their entry for the TTXGP zero carbon fuel Grand Prix scheduled to run on 12th June 2009. The race is to be held on the same day as the premier Senior TT event and over the full Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, potentially attracting a worldwide audience. The EV-0RR will not only be utilising zero carbon fuel for propulsion but will also use renewable and sustainable materials for the construction of the chassis and bodywork manufactured using high technology processes at Mussett Composites technical facility.
Isle of Man TT and ManxGP “Young Gun” Olie Linsdell (ManxGP/NW200/Dundrod 150 winner) has been named as the racer aboard one of the machines and Chris Northover (3rd 2008 British Superstock Championship) will be assisting with vehicle and powertrain development. Further rider announcements are expected shortly.
Meeting with the Isle of Man TT Marshalls Association and representatives from the Isle of Man government Evo Design Director, Rick Simpson, said: “We are very excited about the opportunity to design a motorcycle for such a prestigious event and that may very well be the forerunner to the way motorsport will be shaped in the future.” Olie Linsdell added: “By the end of my riding career this is going to be the way to go, so it seemed sensible for me to get involved and help make it work.”
Physical machinery is not expected until early February; by which time CFD & wind-tunnel testing, design and early development will be complete.
Brian Alexander from Mussett Composites said “This is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in, bringing two cutting edges technologies together, for the future and for sustainability of our environment.”
Mussett Engineering are pleased to be exhibiting at the 2010 Farnborough International Airshow.
