Segment 6
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
1 metres after turn-in | 3 | 126 km/h |
Segment 6 is a left-hand corner that requires the driver to be in 3rd gear at a minimum speed of 126 km/h. The braking point for this corner is just 1 metre after the turn-in point, indicating a relatively late braking zone. The racing line shown in the image suggests a smooth, sweeping entry into the corner, allowing the driver to carry good speed through the apex and exit. This segment will test the driver's ability to balance braking, turn-in, and throttle application to maintain momentum and maximize exit speed. Careful management of the car's weight transfer will be crucial to maintaining control and optimizing lap time through this medium-speed left-hander.
