I did my best ever blue flag when still a trainee (Dick Fraser actually made a note on my grading card).
Druids Out (Oulton) for British F3000 qualifying. Car pootling round on in lap but on the line comes round the corner. I noted a flash through the trees - which was a car on a hot one - so, even though this car was not in view, I waved the blue. Result: slow car jinks off line just in time to not be there as faster car drives through. Phew!
As many have said, it has been all down hill from there! Moral - never peak too soon.
