Segment 2
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
181 metres | 2 | 61 km/h |
Segment 2 is a right-hand corner that requires the driver to slow down to 61 km/h in 2nd gear. The braking point for this corner is 181 meters before the turn-in point, where the driver will need to apply the brakes to scrub off speed and set up the car for the right-hand turn.
The racing line shown in the image indicates that the driver should aim to carry as much speed as possible through the corner by taking a wide entry, gradually tightening the line, and then powering out of the exit. This will allow the driver to maintain momentum and maximize their speed on the following straight.
Executing this corner effectively will be crucial for maintaining a competitive lap time, as it leads directly into a long straight section of the track. Drivers will need to balance their braking, turn-in, and throttle application to ensure a smooth and efficient transition through this segment.
