Segment 7
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
144 metres before the apex | 2 | 99 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 144-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 99 km/h by the time you reach the apex. Maintain a smooth, controlled application of the brakes 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 and acceleration out of the corner. Stay patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to settle before gradually increasing power as you exit the corner. By mastering the braking and throttle control, you'll be able to carry good speed through this challenging segment.
