Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
145 metres before the apex | 2 | 99 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 145-meter mark, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 99 km/h. Maintain a smooth, controlled braking effort, and be ready to transition into the turn-in phase. Once you reach the apex, smoothly apply the throttle to accelerate out of the corner, keeping the car in 2nd gear throughout. Remember to maintain a consistent, progressive throttle application to optimize your exit speed. By mastering the braking and throttle control in this corner, you'll be able to carry more speed through the entire segment and set yourself up for a strong run onto the next straight.
