Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
94 metres before the apex | 2 | 77 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 94 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 77 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and be ready to transition into the turn-in phase.
Once you reach the apex, gently release the brakes and begin gradually applying the throttle. Pay attention to the throttle application, ensuring a smooth and progressive increase in power to maintain control through the exit of the corner. Remember to keep the car in 2nd gear throughout this segment.
By mastering the braking and throttle application in this combination corner, you can carry good speed through the apex and set yourself up for a strong exit onto the next straight. Stay focused, be patient, and trust your car's capabilities.
