Although the riders didn’t roar to the historic finish, metaphorically the throb of the electric motorcycle racing engines couldn’t be louder.

Electric Racing has a new world champion with Matthias Himmelmann winning the top crown for the team of Munch racing from Germany in the environmentally friendly TTXGP. Himmelmann beat off stiff competition from teams from Italy, UK, USA, Belgium, India, and China winning the zero-carbon crown, making history and setting a high bar for any challengers in 2011.

And the race was as close as any other seen on two-wheels with only 00:00.228 seconds difference to decide the champion.

Despite beginning in pole and ending in first with the zero carbon powered Münch machine, Himmelmann was able to hold off Alessandro Brannetti on the twin-Agni powered eCRP. While second place was a disappointment to the eCRP team, it was a miracle they even started given the problems they'd had all weekend with the controllers on both bikes. Rounding off the podium was the TTXGP UK Champion, Jenny Tinmouth.

The championship race held in Spain was as much a test for motorcycle manufacturers as it was the different racing teams.

The differences in power, both in volts and kw/hrs between the three bikes was significant, yet this is also what has made this series so exciting. Teams have had the liberty to try practically whatever they can in order to win. Although the eCRP had much less power than the Münch, Brannetti was able to overtake Jenny Tinmouth after she passed him on the first lap. By lap 6, Branetti was leading, with Himmelmann gaining on him each time down the front straight, only to be denied on the entry to T1 by Brannetti's late braking ability.

In the final lap, Himmelmann was able to draft Brannetti before the start/finish line for an easier lead down the front straight, creating a gap that Brannetti could not close before the end of the race.

The first Chinese factory team, Team Zongshan put in an impressive fourth and have set themselves up to be part of TTXGP 2011 with a strong platform to build from. Chi Fung Ho, a veteran racer from China showed tremendous skill in keeping Pete Ward and the Electric Hussars to a 5th place.

Morris Motorcycles followed the Mavizen of the Electric Hussars and came in 6th with Peter Linden showing the strongest ever finish for Morris. Morris have committed to return for 2011 with a brand new package and team to build from the success of 2010.

Rob Moon/Team Agni, Thomas Schurict/Münch Racing filled in 7th and 8th respectively.

Campus Francorchamps after a strong start, with the third fastest lap, suffered a mechanical failure in lap 7. With a motor blow out, Fastre came into the pits and essentially went out and finished the race on half power.

Jennifer Bromme of Team Werkstatt from the North American Championship finished 10th. She showed great improvement and went sub 2-minutes in lap 3.

Another team that suffered constant technical problems was Tork India. Despite winning the first ever round of the TTXGP UK Championship, they never really found their form. Antonio Maeso, started well with the 6th fastest laptime.

Alexey Ivanov from SMP Racing also suffered from an early technical failure during the warm ups and could not start.
