    These items are conjecture, we don't know what the issue was yet.

    I feel sorry for Nippon Denso (or whoever) in motorcycle racing - the Japanese factory race teams always used to describe all failures to finish as being due to "an electrical fault" - even when it appeared that the electrical fault caused the rods to go through the engine casings and the TV coverage actually showed the pistons bouncing down the race track on their own....

    Yeah, well those pistons hit and cut a wire, or hot oil spilled all over the loom melting it. See...electrical problem. :wink:

    Sorry, that was my attempt at humor... a race car going into limp mode...
