Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
170 metres before the apex | 2 | 60 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 170-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 60 km/h by the time you reach the apex. Maintain a smooth, consistent application of the brake pedal, and be ready to transition into the turn-in phase. Remember to keep the car in second gear throughout this corner. As you begin to accelerate out of the apex, gradually apply the throttle, being mindful of the car's stability. Maintain a steady, progressive throttle application to optimize your exit speed. By following this approach, you'll be able to navigate this challenging corner with confidence and precision.
