TTXGP Race From Mosport

I am fortunate in that for the last 6 years I’ve been able to announce the Canadian Superbike Series at Mosport Raceway, about an hour east of Toronto.  It’s a great atmosphere and a great track to watch racing and just hang out.  

This year the TTXGP series had a round that ran in conjunction with the Canadian Superbikes and it was really great to see these machines up close after reading about them over the last year, since many of them debuted at the Isle Of Man race.

While the racing isn’t that close yet, it’s the technology that makes this interesting.  Is this the future of motorcycle racing, I don’t know, but it is an interesting  path, and I’m not going to dismiss this at all, in fact I will be following it closely.

The video we have is the race from Mosport, and you can hear yours truly announcing from corner five, it’s not the best work I’ve ever done, but I’m happy I didn’t make a fool of myself either.

If you’d like to find out more about the series you can look around their website at http://www.egrandprix.tv, or follow them via social media twitter.egrandprix.com  facebook.egrandprix.com
