Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
134 metres before the apex | 3 | 75 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 134-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 75 km/h in 3rd gear by the time you reach the apex. Maintain a smooth, gradual application of the brakes throughout the braking zone, avoiding any sudden or excessive braking. This will help you turn the car in smoothly and carry good momentum through the corner. Remember to trail the brakes slightly as you begin turning in, then gradually get back on the throttle as you reach the apex. Aim to have the car stabilized and ready to accelerate out of the corner. Smooth, progressive inputs on both the brakes and throttle will be key to maximizing your speed and momentum through this left-hander.
