Segment 13
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
27 metres before the apex | 2 | 56 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 27 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 56 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or jerky inputs.
Once you reach the apex, smoothly transition to the throttle, being mindful of any delay in your throttle application to allow the car to stabilize. Gradually increase the throttle pressure as you exit the corner, aiming to maximize your acceleration out of the turn. Remember to keep the car in 2nd gear throughout this segment to maintain optimal control and traction.
By executing a well-timed and controlled braking zone, followed by a smooth throttle application, you'll be able to carry good speed through this combination corner and set yourself up for a strong exit onto the next straight. Stay focused on your technique, and trust your abilities to navigate this challenging section of the circuit.
