Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
87 metres before the apex | 4 | 138 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 87 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 138 km/h in 4th gear. Maintain a smooth, controlled throttle application throughout the corner, being mindful of any slight lifts or dabs on the throttle to help the car rotate and stabilize. Remember, the key is to find the right balance between braking, turning, and accelerating to carry as much speed as possible through the corner. Stay patient and trust your car's capabilities - with the right technique, you can maximize your exit speed and carry that momentum down the next straightaway.
