English term or phrase: pace
Source:
The pace was there with everyone stopping on the Mediums around us, but then the Safety Car regrouped the field and it effectively ended our race.

This is from an interview with a F1 driver who ended a race in 17th position and is giving his opinion on the race. I have no clue what he means by "The pace was there", so I am thankful for any help with this.

Grading comment
Client gave me an original French phrase (which is odd, because the driver must have almost definitely given the interview in English), which pretty much amounts to "we achieved a good speed".
