Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
115 metres before the apex | 2 | 104 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 115-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you're in the ideal 2nd gear. Aim to reach your minimum speed of 104 km/h at the apex, where you can then smoothly transition to the acceleration phase. Remember to trail the brakes slightly as you turn in, allowing the car to settle and providing better control through the corner. Once at the apex, gradually increase your throttle application, being mindful of the car's stability. By following this approach, you'll be able to carry good speed through this challenging section of the circuit.
