Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
167 metres before the apex | 4 | 150 km/h |
As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 167-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you're in the ideal 4th gear. Aim to reach your minimum speed of 150 km/h at the apex, where you can then smoothly transition to the acceleration phase. Remember to trail the brakes slightly as you turn in, allowing the car to settle and providing better control through the corner. Once you've reached the apex, gradually increase your throttle application, being mindful of any delay to allow the car to stabilize. Maintain a consistent, progressive throttle input to optimize your exit speed. By mastering the fundamentals of this corner, you'll set yourself up for a strong run through the rest of the circuit.
