Throttle Down at the Pavilion Yard

6 min

Each August, the Ardenmoor Rally Sprint Series uses the Civic Rehearsal Hall's rear service yard as an approved overnight paddock before the qualifying run. Competitors leave their cars locked in the yard under a standard paddock curfew from 22:00. On the morning of Sunday 24 August 2026, scrutineer Pol Hagen found Car 14 — a rally-prepared hatchback entered by driver Marta Selwyn — unable to start. No alarm was triggered and no perimeter breach was logged by the yard's single-camera system. Your task is to profile the person or persons who interfered with the car, not to name them.
