I've finally decided to race somewhere other than the Glen :)
I'm using the Brabham at Monza, so does anyone know of the best gears to be
in for the Curva Grande, the Lesmos, and the Parabolica? Thanks.

I use 4th in Curve Grande, 2nd in the Lesmos, with 3rd snatched briefly
between, and 2nd changing up to 3rd in Parabolica (as I would for any other
car).
Trouble with the Brabham is the the high torque at low revs. With the
Lotus, changing up early is an easy way of avoiding losing the rear end
accelerating out of slower bends. With the Brabham you have to be more
careful. Good news is, if you find yourself in too high a gear after a
mistake, you can just leave it and pull away.
