This year’s SES TT Zero Race, the electric bike race run as part of the Isle of Man TT Races meeting, sees the highest number of entries in the event’s four year history, since the first race in 2009.  Eighteen competitors have confirmed their entries and will be battling to be the first to exceed 100mph average lap speed for the 37 ¾ mile Mountain Course

Having seen some of its closest races in recent years, the two 3-lap Sure Sidecar races are again set to thrill with another top class entry assembled.
