Get your gearing spot on bradders on yours 14/46 do it!!
Well, I was doing low 1m04s with the same gearing from Brands (14/43). The only difference being that I was staying in 4th until the hairpin (too long for top), and rolling off for Gerrards. I don't understand how you could run 14/46 and not already be revving to 9-10,000 before Gerrards, let alone what you would be hitting coming out of it down to Edwinas (mine was already revving out on 14/44 on the run out of Gerrards). I suppose the shorter gearing helps round the twisty stuff and the longer helps in the faster stuff, and they balance eachother out round a whole lap. I suppose you would just choose the shorter gearing if it made you feel better going into Gerrards flat in top, even if it was slower
