14-46 or maybe 14-47 depending on your rev limit. You don't want to have to snatch another gear just before braking for graham hill bend

No problems, if you want any tips on how to ride brands indy I still think this is the best on board footage I've seen.

Of course you brake for GH Bend ! One of the reasons it presents a good overtaking opportunity, although entrance to Druids is the most popular....
