Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
130 metres before the apex | 3 | 128 km/h |
For this right-hand corner, focus on braking smoothly and carrying good momentum through the apex. Begin braking around 130 meters before the turn-in point, gradually increasing brake pressure to slow the car to the minimum speed of 128 km/h at the apex. Maintain a steady throttle application as you turn in, then gradually increase throttle after the apex to accelerate out of the corner. Stay in 3rd gear throughout this section to optimize your exit speed. Remember to be patient with the throttle and allow the car to settle before applying full power. Smooth, controlled inputs will allow you to carry good speed through this corner.
