Segment 9
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
102 metres before the apex | 2 | 87 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 102 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 87 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or excessive braking inputs.
As you turn into the corner, aim to trail brake slightly, keeping a small amount of brake pressure applied as you begin to turn the car. This will help stabilize the rear of the car and allow you to carry more speed through the corner. Gradually transition from braking to throttle application, being mindful of the car's balance and traction.
Once you reach the apex, smoothly apply the throttle, being careful not to induce any wheelspin or instability. Focus on a gradual, progressive throttle application to maximize your exit speed and carry momentum onto the next straight. Remember to shift down to 2nd gear to maintain optimal power delivery through this combination corner.
By executing a well-timed and controlled braking zone, followed by a smooth turn-in and throttle application, you can maximize your speed and performance through this challenging section of the circuit.
