Segment 9
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
24 metres before the apex | | 50 km/h |
For this corner, focus on maintaining a smooth and controlled approach. As you approach the braking zone, begin to gradually apply the brakes around 24 meters before the apex. This will allow you to effectively scrub off speed and set up the car for the turn-in.
Once you reach the apex, aim to be in the lowest gear possible, around 0 or 1, to maximize traction and acceleration out of the corner. Your minimum speed through the apex should be around 50 km/h.
Throughout the corner, be mindful of your throttle application. Avoid any sudden or jerky throttle inputs, and instead focus on a smooth, progressive application of the throttle as you exit the corner. This will help the car remain stable and allow you to carry more speed onto the next straight.
Remember, the key to this corner is a well-executed braking zone and a smooth, controlled exit. By following these guidelines, you'll be able to carry more speed through the corner and set yourself up for a strong run onto the next section of the track.
