Segment 23
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
52 metres | 4 | 185 km/h |
Segment 23 is a high-speed right-hand corner that requires careful braking and smooth throttle application. The driver will need to start braking approximately 52 meters before the turn-in point, shifting down to 4th gear and reducing speed to around 185 km/h. The racing line shown in the image indicates a wide entry, gradually tightening the radius through the middle of the corner, and then a smooth exit onto the following straight. Maintaining momentum through this section will be crucial, as the driver will need to carry as much speed as possible onto the long straight ahead. Precise car control and a well-executed line will be key to maximizing performance in this high-speed segment.
