Braking Points (2013)
“Bruce said, as I exited pit lane, only moments after the qualifying session began.
I accelerated through the gentle curve of Turn 2 and into the right-hand Turn 3. Pushing where I could, careful with my cold tires. Desperate to know if the car was as good as it had been before my excursion over the curbs and grass that morning.
I touched the brakes slightly on my mark at the top of the hill, to balance the Corvette for Turn 3. Wheel to the right for 3, carry speed through the corner. Ri...ght wheels onto the curbing, accelerating. Sweep through Turn 4, feeding throttle on through the turn. The track falling away, turning to the right. Lift slightly. No brake. Accelerate down the hill into the Esses. Right-left-right. Try to make it a straight line. Accelerating.
Hard on the brakes, pressing myself forward against my belts. Downshift to fourth, still braking. Release and turn left. On the throttle from the apex of 5. Run out over the curbing to settle the car.MoreLess
