Riding the Agni X01, Rob Barber has won the first TTXGP. The 2007 GSX-R600-based electric motorcycle uses two Agni 95 reinforced motors and a Kokam lithium polymer battery of 42 cells totaling around 12 kilowatt-hours of energy. According to the team, this gave around 40 or 50bhp for the entire length of the race. Barber completed the lap in 25:53.50 averaging 87.434mph and maxing out at 97.8mph at the Sulby speed trap. This breaks the 50cc lap record that was set in 1971.
