F24+: Zebedee and Brian appeared with a monstrous lead after lap 1, with Zebedee taking an outrageous chunk out of the  circuit lap record. However the track is a bit rough and this resulted in punctures and the rear bodywork faling off  Zebedee. After gaffer tape & a puncture repair Zebedee was flying again but could only fight its way back up to 3rd.  Brian meanwhile serenely motored on to a well deserved win.

F24: Once again both cars battling at the head of the field. Fairly eary on Zebedee came in with a suspected puncture.  There was no puncture but as the car went back out it was noticed that one of its wheels had considerably more negative camber than designed. This was diagnosed as a stub axle bolt on the point of failure (stress cracks very visible in the thread root) and this was eventually replaced. In spite of another puncture Zebedee, now on a mission, carved back up through the field to 3rd place.
