Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
158 metres before the apex | 4 | 216 km/h |
As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking point. The telemetry data shows that the ideal braking point is 158 meters before the apex of the corner. Begin braking at this point and gradually transition into the turn-in.
In the corner, aim to carry as much speed as possible while maintaining control. The minimum speed through the apex is 216 km/h, so be sure to carry that speed through the corner. Remember to keep the car in 4th gear throughout the turn.
As you exit the corner, gradually apply the throttle to accelerate out of the turn. Pay attention to the throttle application - the data shows a slight delay in throttle application after the apex, which is common to allow the car to stabilize. Focus on a smooth, progressive throttle application to maximize traction and exit speed.
Remember, the key to this corner is hitting your braking point, maintaining momentum through the apex, and a smooth throttle application on exit. Apply these principles, and you'll be able to carry maximum speed through this first corner.
