Segment 4
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
120 metres before the apex | 1 | 77 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 120 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 77 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or abrupt braking inputs.
As you turn in, be mindful of your steering angle and throttle application. Aim to carry as much speed as possible through the corner, but be patient with the throttle and wait until you've reached the apex before gradually increasing the power. This will help you maintain control and stability through the turn.
Remember to keep the car in the lowest gear, first gear, throughout this corner. This will provide you with the necessary torque and traction to accelerate out of the turn effectively. Stay focused, trust your braking and turn-in points, and you'll be able to navigate this corner with confidence.
