Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
42 metres after turn-in | 2 | 58 km/h |
Segment 1 features a right-hand corner where precision in braking and turn-in is crucial for maintaining speed through the apex and setting up for the following straight. The data indicates a braking point of approximately 71 meters before the turn, suggesting a medium to high-speed approach. At this point, drivers should be looking to apply firm but progressive braking to scrub off speed efficiently without unsettling the car.
The lowest gear engaged here is second, which matches with the lowest speed recorded at around 58 km/h, indicating that this corner requires a significant reduction in speed but still carries momentum through the turn. The racing line depicted shows a wide entry into the corner, aiming for a late apex to maximize exit speed.
Simracers should focus on smooth inputs, both in steering and throttle application, as they navigate this segment. Trail braking may be beneficial here to maintain stability and keep the car balanced as you transition from braking to turning. As you hit the apex, progressively apply throttle to drive out of the corner and onto the straight with as much speed as possible while avoiding any sudden movements that could lead to oversteer or understeer.
