Segment 3
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
136 metres after turn-in | 2 | 117 km/h |
Segment 3 is a left-hand corner that requires the driver to use 2nd gear and maintain a minimum speed of 117 km/h. The braking point for this corner is 136 meters after the turn-in point, where the driver should begin slowing down to negotiate the turn.
This corner presents a moderate challenge, as the combination of a left-hand direction and the relatively high minimum speed requires the driver to carry good momentum through the turn. The racing line shown in the image suggests a smooth, sweeping entry into the corner, allowing the driver to maintain speed and maximize the available grip.
To execute this corner effectively, the driver should focus on a late apex, using the full width of the track on exit to maintain speed and set up the next straight. Careful throttle control and smooth steering inputs will be crucial to maintaining stability and maximizing the car's performance through this segment.
