Zero Fuel, Zero Fun?
Electric whiz kids Zero tell us that they’ve created the ultimate toy; a full blown electric supermoto with enough torque to pull a house down. But is it the real deal or just an oversized vibrator?

Ten Minutes with Mark Higgins
Mark Higgins is a Manxman who has broken lap records at the TT. Unlike most, however, Mark gets to compete on four wheels – but that doesn’t make his feats any less impressive. 128.730mph in his specially built 600bhp Prodrive Subaru was a staggering achievement – and he reckons there’s still more to come from it…

A Summer Break Of Agony & Ecstacy
There hasn’t been a single Bennetts British Superbike race in the past five weeks, yet even so things have gone absolutely mental. For a summer break it’s had more ups and downs then a whole season of F1, with career-changing injuries, world-level wildcards and factory endurance testing galore. I don’t know why, but it seems like everyone is trying as hard as possible not to make it into the showdown…

Carl Stevens
So, after conceding we had no bike to race (and moaning as much as possible in true teenager fashion), we were given a last minute lifeline to appear at the first round of the MCE British Superbike Championship at Donington Park, riding the Total Plant Solutions Ducati Panigale 899 in the Ducati Tri-Options Cup. Keith ‘Bugsy’ Jaggard was the splendid chap who gave us the chance to get some more saddle time, after he upgraded (along with most of the field) to the new 959 Panigale. It meant I was really going to have to pull my finger out to get some good results.
