As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 285-meter mark, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 77 km/h. Maintain a smooth, controlled braking input, and be mindful of your steering angle as you turn into the corner. Once you reach the apex, smoothly transition to the throttle, gradually increasing your acceleration out of the corner. Remember to keep the car in second gear throughout this segment. By mastering the braking and turn-in, you'll be able to carry more speed through the corner and set yourself up for a strong exit.
