Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
155 metres before the apex | 1 | 93 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 155-meter mark, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 93 km/h. Maintain a consistent, smooth brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or jerky inputs.
Once you reach the apex of the corner, gently release the brakes and begin applying the throttle. Aim to smoothly increase the throttle application, allowing the car to accelerate out of the corner in first gear. Pay attention to the gradient of your throttle input, ensuring a progressive and controlled application of power.
Remember, the key to navigating this corner effectively is a well-executed braking phase, followed by a smooth and controlled acceleration out of the apex. Focus on your technique, and you'll be able to carry good speed through this challenging section of the circuit.
