Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
120 metres before the apex | 6 | 180 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 120 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 180 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or abrupt braking inputs.
Once you reach the apex, smoothly transition from braking to throttle application, being mindful of the car's stability. Aim to maintain a steady throttle through the exit of the corner, allowing the car to accelerate out of the turn. Remember to keep the car in the optimal 6th gear throughout this segment.
By executing a well-timed and controlled braking zone, you can set yourself up for a clean, efficient exit from this corner. Focus on your technique, and trust the car to provide the grip and stability you need to carry good speed through the turn.
