As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking point. Begin braking approximately 120 meters before the apex of the corner. This will allow you to carry good speed through the turn while still slowing the car sufficiently. Aim to be in 4th gear as you reach the apex, maintaining a minimum speed of 119 km/h. Throughout the corner, be smooth with your steering inputs and gradually increase your throttle application as you exit. Remember to stay patient and let the car do the work - this will help you carry maximum speed through the corner. Keep these techniques in mind, and you'll be able to tackle this first turn with confidence.
