Want to train yourself for the future of motorsport? Widen your knowledge base? Re-train in a future-proof skill?
Learn from the world’s first electric motorcycle racing series.
TTXGP are now able to offer you the opportunity to learn how to build an electric motorcycle, right from the classroom to the circuit in one course.
- Study the theory
- Assemble the components
- Build the bike
- Ride the future
The TTXGP are pleased to announce an all-new training course that gives access to the knowledge required to build an electric vehicle. The first courses are being held at the Spa Francorchamps circuit, in their state of the art, fully-equipped training centre, Campus Francorchamps. By working with Campus on this project we are able to offer a fantastic opportunity to learn from our experience with electric vehicles and combine this with the excellent facilities available at Campus.
In five intensive days, the fundamentals of electric vehicle technology will be taught in a practical way. Each participant will receive a box of components at the start of the week, with everything they require to build an electric bike. They will then be guided through construction by an instructor, whilst being taught the fundamentals of electric vehicle technology; batteries, motors, control systems and safety.
However, this is no ordinary course, by the end of it the newly qualified trainee will own the bike they’ve built and test it out for the first time by completing two laps of the Spa circuit.
The first three sessions at Campus are scheduled for:
2 - 6 April 2011
4 - 8 June 2011
9 - 13 July 2011
Places are limited to 8 persons per course, so register your interest now at learn.egrandprix.com. There has been great interest in the course to date, with several other colleges in Europe and the US in discussion to run similar courses. Be sure to watch this space.
