Segment 3
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
4 metres | 3 | 108 km/h |
Segment 3 is a left-hand corner that requires the driver to slow down to 108 km/h in 3rd gear. The braking point for this corner is just 4 meters before the turn-in point, indicating a relatively late and aggressive braking zone. The racing line shown in the image suggests a tight, almost hairpin-like entry into the corner, requiring the driver to carry good momentum through the apex and exit. This segment will test the driver's ability to balance braking, turn-in, and throttle application to maintain control and maximize speed through the corner. Careful management of the car's weight transfer and tire grip will be crucial for navigating this challenging left-hander efficiently.
