Segment 7
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
N/A | 2 | 89 km/h |
Segment 7 presents a right-hand corner where the lowest gear used is second and the minimum speed achieved is approximately 89 km/h. The absence of a braking point suggests that this corner can be taken without a significant reduction in speed, likely indicating either a high-speed corner or one that follows a straight where the car has already slowed down sufficiently.
From the racing line depicted in the image, it's clear that drivers should aim to approach from the left side of the track to set up for an optimal turn-in point. The racing line hugs the inside of the corner tightly, which allows for maintaining higher speeds through the apex. Exiting the corner, it's important to smoothly apply throttle and let the car drift out towards the outside edge of the track to maximize exit speed.
Simracers should focus on carrying momentum into this segment by ensuring they are positioned correctly before turn-in and avoiding any unnecessary braking that could compromise their speed through this section. Precision with steering inputs and throttle application will be key to achieving a fast and efficient exit, setting up for any subsequent corners or straights.
