Rob Barber on the 'dustbin' faired Agni electric machine, designed by Cedric Lynch, in the race paddock of the 2010 TTzero. Rob went quicker than he had when he won the inaugural TTXGP in 2009, but was beaten into second place in 2010 by Mark Miller on the completely re-designed Czysz. Jennie Tinmouth finished 4th on the second Agni machine, using a conventional fairing. Cedric says the dustbin-faired machine was slightly faster, but really needs to have more rear bodywork to improve its aerodynamics further. (And if it was up to Cedric, it would be a proper FF, like the one that Royce Creasey proposed way back in March 2009; see here: http://www.bikeweb.com/node/1629)
Also in the photo is Rob's mechanic doing some last-minute trimming of the bottom of the fairing bellypan to increase ground clearance. PNB.
