Segment 7
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
91 metres | 2 | 99 km/h |
Segment 7 is a right-hand corner that requires the driver to slow down to 99 km/h in 2nd gear. The braking point for this corner is 91 meters before the turn-in point, where the driver will need to apply the brakes to scrub off speed and set up the car for the right-hand turn.
The racing line shown in the image indicates that the driver should aim to hug the inside of the corner, gradually increasing throttle application as they exit the turn and accelerate down the following straight. This will allow the driver to maintain as much speed as possible through the corner while still ensuring a smooth and controlled entry and exit.
Overall, this segment requires the driver to be precise with their braking and turn-in points to maximize their speed through the corner without compromising stability or control of the vehicle. Careful throttle management will also be crucial to ensure a clean exit and strong acceleration onto the next straight.
