Segment 18 is a left-hand corner that requires the driver to brake from a relatively high speed of 77 km/h while in 3rd gear. The braking point is located 49 meters before the turn-in point, indicating that the driver needs to start slowing down early to set up for the corner. The racing line shown in the image suggests a smooth, gradual turn-in and exit, allowing the driver to maintain momentum through the corner. This segment will test the driver's ability to balance braking, turn-in, and throttle application to maximize speed and maintain control of the vehicle. Careful execution of this corner will be crucial for maintaining a competitive lap time on this circuit.
