Segment 7
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
85 metres before the apex | 3 | 102 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 85 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 102 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and aim to be in 3rd gear as you turn in.
As you turn in, be mindful of your throttle application. Gradually increase the throttle to avoid any abrupt inputs, allowing the car to stabilize and accelerate smoothly out of the corner. Remember to be patient and trust the grip of your tires as you apply more throttle through the exit.
By executing a well-timed and controlled braking zone, followed by a smooth, progressive throttle application, you'll be able to maximize your speed and momentum through this right-hander. Stay focused, be precise with your inputs, and you'll be able to carry excellent speed through this corner.
