Segment 2
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
84 metres before the apex | 2 | 112 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 84-meter mark before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 112 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and be sure to trail off the brakes as you turn in to the corner.
Once you reach the apex, smoothly transition to full throttle application, allowing the car to accelerate out of the corner. Pay attention to the gradient of your throttle input, applying the throttle firmly but progressively to maintain control and maximize your exit speed.
Remember to keep the car in 2nd gear throughout this corner, as the minimum speed suggests this is the optimal gear choice. Focus on executing a clean, well-balanced line through the corner, and you'll be rewarded with a strong exit onto the next straight.
