Heidi seemed to be doing most of the talking. Actually, after talking with 29,000 people, I think she lost her voice. Or maybe Dave "eviscerated" it....
Poor Dave... he seemed to be quite tense at times, I think 116 had unexplained drive issues, possibly due to faulty radio equipment, something a few teams reported on the rightmost red playstation. At one point 116 was spinning about it's center at an impressive speed, whilst the drivers (appropriately, given the proximity of the audience) freaked out.


When it was working (practically the whole time) it was a site to behold. "Lil Lavery" (what is his real name?) gave me a rundown on that amazing drive train, and it's even more impressive in real life.
