Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
47 metres before the apex | 2 | 86 km/h |
This corner appears to be a combination corner, where the driver must navigate both a braking zone and an acceleration zone. To tackle this corner effectively, focus on your braking point, ensuring you slow the car down sufficiently before turning in. As you approach the apex, gradually increase your throttle application to power out of the corner. Pay close attention to the minimum speed you achieve at the apex, as this will determine how much grip you have available for the exit. Remember to trail brake if necessary, but avoid excessive braking that could unsettle the car. Stay patient with the throttle and allow the car to stabilize before fully committing to the acceleration phase. With the right balance of braking, turning, and throttle application, you can navigate this combination corner smoothly and efficiently.
