Hi All,
A while back I asked the question "so who do think is responsible
for all those F1 engine blowups. The machine programmer who
cant tell a thou from an inch or the software engineer with a bug ?
So you all thought I was being silly.

"How long's the warranty ?" was the question being asked by Mercedes
Benz Champ Car customers in Vancouver with no fewer than 12 of the
silver star engines blowing during practice and qualifying. Carl Hogan
was the biggest warranty claimant, losing five engines alone.
Apparently the cause came down to a new "experimental" Mercedes/
Magnet Marelli electronic (sic) mapping system which proved to go
disastrously wrong
New engine mapping was installed for race day with no engine failures
being experienced.
Hands up who can say C++
yours in real time,
