peer agreement (net): +3hold on to your hat! Explanation: Only 3 Google hits for this phrase in quotes, including this passage. Sentence means that the engine revs to full power very fast, and catches you out. I've tried to translate by a phrase from more like the period in question (it's actually from the 40s, I think - WWII pilots, for example) but I think is was more or less still heard at the time F1 cut back to 1500cc engines, I think. Coopers were consistent GB winners, as far as I remember. |
