Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
130 metres before the apex | 3 | 131 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 130 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 131 km/h in 3rd gear. Maintain a smooth, controlled braking phase, and be ready to transition into the turn-in. Through the corner, aim to carry as much speed as possible while maintaining stability. Gradually apply the throttle on corner exit, being mindful of any potential understeer or oversteer. By mastering the braking and turn-in, you can maximize your speed and momentum through this challenging segment.
