Thanks to more support from eBio, Inzane is again competing in the BMCRC Minitwins class on the biofuel powered Ducati 800SS in 2009:
Brands Hatch 7-8 March
Snetterton 28-29 March
Brands Hatch 18-19 April Note: This is the BMCRC Centenary Meeting
Oulton Park 26-27 June

Snetterton 5-6 September
Thruxton 17 October

In addition the team will run two bikes in the Alternative Energy Drag race at Santa Pod on the 24th April. It will be interesting to see if we can beat the electric superbikes being developed for the TTX GP.

Assuming that the Laverda survives both the "Bike" magazine Bruntingthorpe test on Thursday 24th and the Alternative Energy drag race (see links) at Santapod on Friday 25th, we will be at the third round of the Bemsee Minitwins at Cadwell.
Sadly for Laverda fans, this could be the last outing for the 650 Formula in the series,as the team prepares to rollout another (faster) biofuel racer next month. Watch this space...

Santa Pod Raceway is set to host what appears to be a real life version of ‘Wacky Races’ when on April 25th an eclectic assemblage of alternatively fueled vehicles will hit the quarter mile strip in a bid to win the first ever Alternative Energy Drag Race.
Held to publicise the practicality of alternative energy and to demonstrate being green doesn’t mean being boring, the event has already attracted entries as varied as our own Laverda 650 MiniTwin racer, running Morrison’s finest E85 bioethanol, through the Jenkins Motorsort biodiesel racing truck, to an electric VW Beetle.
Entries are still coming in but hot favourite to sprint down the strip in record setting time is the Bike Magazine entry of a Triumph 675 Triple running alcohol made from apple juice and distilled by enterprising (and presumably tipsy!) chemistry students at Oundle’s Prince William School.
Inzane Laverda despite a power deficit however are hanging their hopes on ace rider, Russ Joyner (no pressure mate!).
Meanwhile the serious stuff starts when the team contests its first championship round of the 2008 season at Brands Hatch on 8/9th March.
