As an Enginner, I could sit and look at the Mugen all day long. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail is stunning and puts the majority of the TT paddock to shame.
However... The use of a battery as the only power source for propulsion of a vehicle is a dead end street, and the the green credentials ( which the DED tried to sell to us for the TT) is a sham. There may be no emissions at source, but there would have been as many ,if not more when sourcing raw materials and making the batterys, compared to internal combustion engines.
Then we are left with the TT 'Race' itself.
Yes, you can only race against whoever else turns up, and it is not directly Mugens fault for low field numbers ( although you could argue that it may put off some from competing when the main runner is so strong) but we lost the 2 strokes because of low entrys. At the rate this class is going it will be called the Zero TT because there will be Zero entrys!
