Q for Mugen if I can, how long do you think it will be until we can run a two lap race, more or less at the current speed?

At the moment we are using everything we've got to do the speeds we are over the one lap. You could go further but the speeds would be down.
A solution could be to swap battery pack after one lap but you have to consider that currently the battery pack is fully integrated into the frame and takes all day to swap, plus they cost 10's of thousands of pounds, so not practical just yet.
However battery development is constantly taking place (our 2016 cells are vastly more advanced than even our 2012 pack) so there will be a technological breakthrough that will take us to the next level, it is just difficult to say when that will be. But with all the development that is going on (F1, Le Mans, automotive etc) it's a fair bet it will happen.
As far as TT Zero is concerned, if we as a small independent team can do what we are doing you can imagine what a large manufacturer with a big budget might do.
In any case it is great to see more teams like Sarolea pushing the boundaries; last year there were 4 bikes over 100mph, this year hopefully there will be even more in the "ton-up club "
