Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
59 metres before the apex | 2 | 142 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 59 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 142 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and aim to be in 2nd gear as you turn in.
Through the corner, be patient with your throttle application, allowing the car to settle before gradually increasing the power. Pay attention to the gradient of your throttle input, applying the throttle firmly but smoothly to maximize traction and exit speed. Remember, this is a combination corner, so be prepared to adjust your line and inputs as the corner evolves.
Stay focused, be precise with your inputs, and trust the car to carry you through this challenging section of the circuit. With the right technique, you can maximize your speed and momentum through this corner.
