    After over an hour of hot air and uninspiring presenters we finally got what we were waiting for. I've got to say I'm so happy I wasn't sitting in the audience cos I'd have slept through the exciting bit. So, speculation over. It's an R1 engine in an MT package, well done if you guessed that...
