Segment 9
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
50 metres | 2 | 85 km/h |
Segment 9 is a left-hand corner that requires the driver to slow down to 85 km/h in 2nd gear. The braking point for this corner is 50 meters before the turn-in point, where the driver must begin braking to negotiate the corner effectively.
The racing line shown in the image indicates that the driver should aim to hug the inside of the corner, gradually increasing throttle application as they exit the turn. This will allow the driver to maintain momentum and carry good speed onto the next straight.
Proper braking, downshifting, and smooth steering inputs will be crucial for navigating this corner quickly and consistently. Drivers will need to balance their braking, turning, and throttle application to optimize their lap times through this section of the track.
