I had a go on this engine Saturday Evening in the ring. The owner only purchased the engine before Christmas, as well as having a fairly inexperienced crew. so has fitted the flywheel brake while he is getting used to the engine (this was his second rally with the engine) so if all goes really wrong he can use it. He hasn't had to use it yet! he will remove it after about a year.
