Segment 12
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
100 metres before the apex | 2 | 77 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 100 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 jerky inputs.
As you turn in, keep the car in second gear to ensure you have the right amount of power to accelerate out of the corner. Gradually increase the throttle application after the apex, being mindful of the car's stability. Remember to be patient and let the car settle before applying full throttle.
By executing a well-timed and controlled braking zone, followed by a smooth turn-in and gradual throttle application, you'll be able to carry good speed through this left-hander and set yourself up well for the next section of the circuit.
