As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 160-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you're in the ideal first gear for this corner. Aim to reach your minimum speed of 55 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 grip the road. Once at the apex, gradually apply the throttle, being mindful of the car's stability. By mastering this corner, you'll set yourself up for a strong run through the rest of the circuit.
