Brakes, What Brakes, just use 1st and 2nd and a very rare 3rd gear to control your car.

Also make sure your Brakes are in tip top condition, Just in case you need them .

Martin I need to travel with you during one of your Third Gear Runs you spoke of last year. That sounds like Fun.
Certainly, Fred!

A word of caution to n00bs at the Dragon - do not focus on the car in front of you. If you're waiting to see my brake lights, you may be severely disappointed.

If I'm behind you and I don't see brake lights I am likely gonna be pissed because I am clearly going much faster than you are
Or, more likely, I'm able to carry a much higher cornering speed.
