Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
204 metres before the apex | 2 | 80 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking around 204 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 80 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or abrupt braking inputs.
As you turn into the corner, be mindful of your steering angle and throttle application. Aim to carry as much speed as possible through the corner by gradually increasing the throttle as you reach the apex. Remember to keep the car in the second gear to optimize your acceleration out of the corner.
By executing a well-timed and controlled braking maneuver, followed by a smooth turn-in and gradual throttle application, you can maximize your speed and momentum through this challenging combination corner. Stay focused, trust your car's capabilities, and maintain a consistent driving rhythm to navigate this section of the circuit effectively.
