Congratulations to the Black Marlin author.
It is likely that your engine will be promoted at least a couple of divisions for the next series.

Congratulations also to Ras (CT800 author), as your engine would have won otherwise.
Promotion is a highly likely possibility for your engine too.

Thanks to all who took an interest.
It was great to see so many of you following the broadcast.
