Segment 7
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
61 metres before the apex | 2 | 116 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 61 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to your minimum speed of 116 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or jerky inputs.
As you turn in, keep the car in 2nd gear, which will provide the optimal balance of power and control through the corner. Aim to reach your minimum speed at the apex, then smoothly apply the throttle to accelerate out of the corner. Remember to be patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to stabilize before fully committing to the power.
By executing a clean, controlled entry and apex, you'll set yourself up for a strong exit and carry good momentum onto the next straight. Stay focused on your braking point, gear selection, and throttle application to maximize your performance through this challenging right-hander.
