Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
76 metres before the apex | 2 | 69 km/h |
As you approach the fifth corner of the circuit, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 76-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you're in the ideal second gear for this combination corner. Aim to reach your minimum speed of 69 km/h at the apex, allowing you to smoothly transition into the acceleration phase. Remember to trail the brakes slightly as you turn in, but avoid excessive braking pressure. Once at the apex, gradually apply the throttle, monitoring the car's stability as you accelerate out of the corner. Maintain a consistent, progressive throttle application to optimize your exit speed. By mastering the braking and throttle control in this segment, you'll be able to carry more speed through the corner and set yourself up for a strong run onto the next straight.
