Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
107 metres before the apex | 4 | 137 km/h |
For this right-hand corner, focus on braking smoothly and carrying as much speed as possible through the apex. Begin braking at the 107-meter mark, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car to the minimum speed of 137 km/h in 4th gear at the apex. Maintain a steady throttle application after the apex to accelerate out of the corner. Remember to trail brake slightly to help the car turn in, but avoid excessive braking that could upset the balance. Aim to maximize your exit speed by managing the throttle and steering inputs precisely through the corner. With a smooth, controlled approach, you can carry excellent speed and momentum through this challenging segment.
