Nice video! This seems to be very popular sports in Australia? It would be nice to see this same concept to spread out to other countries as well. Does people ride recumbents / velomobiles on their spare time outside of the competition in Australia? I mean that are recumbents and velomobiles popular type of transportation in Australia?

Mark Duwe some of the more angular ones are made from coreflute attached to a chromoly roll cage. Our trike is Kevlar reinforced fibreglass that is formed by laying down strips of the fabric with resin inside a mold, Papier-mâché style. Other trike use a similar process but with various combinations of carbon fibre, fibre glass and Kevlar.

Perfect weather for that type of vehicle.

There's a number of professional cyclists who've raced in these races, some of them have done pretty well although honestly the margin between them and some of the high school teams is smaller than you would expect. I think the biggest thing that would happen if there was pro pedal prix races is that the trikes would become more popular and cheaper for consumers

As with any sport when the money hits it you would see the bottem and middle priced out, and the regulations that would be added would see to that, if only to maintain and justify the cost and sponsorship. What you have here is brilliant, hang onto it as it is for as long as you can.
