As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 185-meter mark, ensuring a smooth and progressive application of the brakes. This will allow you to carry good speed through the turn and set you up well for the exit. Remember to trail the brakes slightly as you turn in, gently releasing the pressure to maintain control. Aim to reach your minimum speed of 109 km/h at the apex of the corner, keeping the car in 4th gear. Once you've reached the apex, smoothly apply the throttle, gradually increasing the pressure to accelerate out of the corner. By mastering this technique, you'll be able to carry excellent speed through the first turn and set yourself up for a strong run down the next straight.
