Segment 9
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
123 metres before the apex | 2 | 82 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 123 meters before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 82 km/h in 2nd gear. Maintain a smooth, controlled trail-braking through the initial turn-in, gradually transitioning to full throttle application as you reach the apex. Pay close attention to the throttle application gradient, applying the power progressively to avoid unsettling the car. Remember, the key to mastering this corner is a well-executed braking phase followed by a smooth, controlled acceleration out of the apex. Keep practicing this technique, and you'll be able to carry more speed through the corner while maintaining stability.
