Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
184 metres before the apex | 2 | 97 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 184 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 97 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or jerky inputs.
As you turn in, be mindful of your steering angle and throttle application. Aim to carry as much speed as possible through the corner, but be patient with the throttle and wait until you've reached the apex before gradually increasing the power. This will help you maintain control and maximize your exit speed.
Remember to keep the car in the optimal gear, second gear in this case, to ensure you have the right amount of torque and acceleration out of the corner. Stay focused and disciplined with your inputs, and you'll be able to navigate this tricky combination with confidence.
