As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 8 meters before the apex of the corner, ensuring you're in the lowest gear, 1st, to maintain control through the turn. As you trail the brakes, gradually decrease your speed to around 13 km/h at the apex. This will allow you to smoothly transition into the acceleration phase after the corner. Remember to be patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to stabilize before gradually increasing power. By mastering this corner, you'll set yourself up for a strong run through the rest of the lap.
