Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
133 metres before the apex | 3 | 144 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 133-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 144 km/h in 3rd gear. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and be ready to transition smoothly into the turn-in. Once you reach the apex, gradually increase your throttle application to power out of the corner, keeping the car stable and balanced. Remember to be patient with the throttle, allowing the car to settle before applying full power. Maintain discipline and focus on executing this corner with precision - the rewards will be evident in your lap time.
