Thanks for that explanation, always good to understand. Have you seen if there are any megasquirt programmers available on smart phone? Would be more convenient to have that in your pocket than carrying a laptop just in case. The other option would be a USB stick and hope for a friendly recovery driver with a laptop. It must be nearly 15k miles since it last happened, so hoping this won't happen again.
As to mine, the passenger seat always feels faster as you aren't in control and have less to hang on to ;-). On another forum one person suggested the best modification to be made was to the driver. He suggested a couple of driving courses that are bespoke tailored both on and off track, which I'm hoping to get for my 40th next year.
