“Everyone involved in the Canadian series is really looking forward to the TTXGP event at Mosport in 2010; we believe this event has a solid long term future,” says Colin Fraser, president of Professional Motorsports Productions, which organizes the Canadian Superbike series. “The electric initiative is attracting lots of attention, and we know Mosport will serve as a great showcase for TTXGP.”
“We have a great history of close racing at Mosport, and we look forward to growing this unique event along with TTXGP in the coming years. TTXGP adds another element to the Superbike program, and cutting edge technology is always popular with our sports bike enthusiast crowd.”
