Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
135 metres before the apex | 3 | 107 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking point. Begin braking around 135 meters before the apex to scrub off speed and set up your entry. Aim to be in 3rd gear as you turn in, maintaining a smooth, steady throttle application through the corner. At the apex, you may need to slightly lift the throttle to help the car settle, then gradually get back on the power as you exit. Remember to be patient and progressive with your inputs - this will allow you to carry good speed through the corner and set up the next straight. Keep practicing this technique, and you'll be able to navigate this section with confidence.
