Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
81 metres before the apex | 3 | 146 km/h |
For this corner, focus on braking smoothly and carrying as much speed as possible through the apex. Begin braking at the 81-meter mark, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car to the minimum speed of 146 km/h in 3rd gear at the apex. Avoid excessive braking, as this can unsettle the car. Instead, trail the brakes slightly as you turn in, allowing the car to rotate and maintain momentum. Once at the apex, smoothly apply the throttle to accelerate out of the corner, being mindful of any potential instability as the car regains grip. Remember, the key is to find the balance between braking, turning, and accelerating to maximize your speed through this combination corner.
