Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
76 metres before the apex | 2 | 113 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 76 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 113 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and be ready to transition into the turn-in phase. Remember to keep the car in 2nd gear for optimal control through this corner. Stay patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to settle before gradually increasing power on corner exit. By executing a well-timed and controlled braking maneuver, you can set yourself up for a smooth, efficient exit and carry good momentum onto the next straight. Stay focused and trust your braking point - this will be key to navigating this challenging combination corner successfully.
