That was a great race , qually showed there is not a lot between most of the drivers
For me I almost got caught out with the fast changing lights , no way to hold a fast charging ED back , chased him through the midfield and had a nibble going into the infield but ED had me covered , once we got to the main striaght the Ferrari just left me for dead , next lap I managed to get in front on the last corner but ED just breezed passed no way could I live with the Ferrari power even in the draft , all I could do was to push ED as close as I could to try and make him make a mistake , it never came .
A few laps in I could see Eds tyres were sliding so I was all over him through the midfield but again as soon as we hit the striaght he waltzed away from me , if I wanted to get past and stay there I had to do it early in the lap , fortunately my chance came when I lost the backend under braking for turn 1, I went sideways into the corner which put me inside ED and pointing in the right direction , so I got past ,(i wish I could say it was a planned skill move
) I now pushed hard to get a gap before we got to the main striaght , luckily I did just enough to hold position and then slowly pulled away over the next laps .
I like this mod I found the Brabham a very forgiving car to drive , you could drive it on the wheel the brakes or the gas but you had to watch the tyres , sliding soon raised the temps and made the grip fade , the handling made up for the lack of power but if the Ferrari and Honda guys get a handle on tyre temps its going to struggle
