Video of the first fast race at Bath Odd Down from inside my streamliner Woodstock.
Things to note:
- cabin temperature in the warm sun - 35°C!
- 12:40 - trip across the grass after avoiding Andy
- 24:20 - front wheel lock up whilst overtaking Lewis
- 32:20 - Slash crashes (but gets going again to finish 1st)

Fault investigated with a Mk 1 pokey-thing.

The fiddly solder joints were innocent!  It was a tiny burr on the edge of the aluminimum profile scraping its way through the enamel on the magnet wire forming the data line between two segments.  Evidently it was shorting out with thermal expansion, freezing the downstream pixels in their current state.

I've removed the burr and added some sleeving to the wire, so hopefully that specific intermittent fault won't happen again.

I know the first-aid kit got some use at Bath.  Do we know what needs restocking ahead of Rhyl?

I used 2 x non adherent pads plus one small ambulance dressing and small amount of tape for Steve and think Jimmy took a couple of large plasters and one non-adherent pad.
