Segment 15
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
83 metres after turn-in | 2 | 58 km/h |
Segment 15 is a right-hand corner that requires the driver to be in 2nd gear and maintain a minimum speed of 58 km/h. The braking point for this corner is 83 meters after the turn-in point, which means the driver needs to start braking well in advance to set up the car for the turn.
The racing line shown in the image indicates that the driver should aim to take a wide entry into the corner, gradually tightening their line as they approach the apex. This will allow them to carry more speed through the corner and maximize their exit speed. The driver should also be mindful of the track's camber and use it to their advantage, allowing the car to naturally rotate through the turn.
Overall, this segment requires a smooth and controlled approach, with the driver carefully managing their braking, gear selection, and throttle application to maintain a consistent and efficient line through the corner.
