Segment 9
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
96 metres before the apex | 1 | 82 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 96 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 82 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or abrupt braking inputs.
Once you reach the apex, gently transition to full throttle application, allowing the car to accelerate out of the corner. Pay close attention to the throttle application gradient, ensuring a progressive and controlled throttle input to maintain stability and traction. Remember to keep the car in the lowest gear, first gear, throughout this corner.
By executing a well-timed and controlled braking phase, followed by a smooth throttle application, you can maximize your speed and momentum through this right-hand corner. Focus on maintaining a consistent and disciplined driving technique to optimize your performance.
