Segment 23
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
80 metres | 3 | 124 km/h |
Segment 23 is a right-hand corner that requires the driver to slow down significantly. With a lowest gear of 3 and a lowest speed of 124 km/h, this corner demands a strong braking effort from the driver. The braking point is located 80 meters before the turn-in point, indicating that the driver needs to start braking early to scrub off enough speed and set up the car for the right-hand turn. The racing line shown in the image suggests a smooth, gradual entry into the corner, followed by a gradual acceleration out of the exit. Navigating this segment efficiently will require the driver to balance their braking, turn-in, and throttle application to maintain control and maximize their exit speed.
