OK, for 710 freaks here ... the trick was not only the gearing but also the pipe.
Which pipe? Well, ask Mark ... see if the old man remembers.

You have a good point there. I think you have to take that s-bend in front of the driver's stand wide and then enter the chicane from a wide angle (see the video how NiMo does it). My habit is never to do that which I think is a mistake. 
If you see what I mean?
You tricked me into revealing that

For all we know, when he tries it out, he overshoots the chicane and out of the track !

He looked exactly like this as he prized those wet tyres from the other racer!!!!!!!! I think he's kind of a cross between both Dastardly and Mutley!!!

Yes you are correct on all counts, the track was fantastic, had a lot of fun last night. Very impressive setup
