Segment 6
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
140 metres before the apex | 2 | 91 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 140 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 91 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and be sure to trail brake slightly as you turn in to the corner.
Once at the apex, smoothly transition to full throttle application, being mindful of any delay in throttle pickup to allow the car to stabilize. Pay attention to the gradient of your throttle application, applying the throttle firmly but progressively to maximize traction and acceleration out of the corner.
Remember, the key to navigating this combination corner is a well-executed braking zone, a precise turn-in, and a smooth, controlled throttle application. Focus on these fundamentals, and you'll be able to carry excellent speed through this challenging section of the circuit.
