Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
179 metres before the apex | 1 | 111 km/h |
As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking point. Begin braking at around 179 meters before the apex to ensure you carry the right speed through the turn. Aim to be in 1st gear as you reach the apex, where your speed should be around 111 km/h. Smoothly transition from braking to throttle application, being mindful of any tendency to delay throttle input after the apex. Maintain a consistent, progressive throttle application to optimize your exit speed. Remember, the key is to find the balance between braking, turning, and accelerating to navigate this combination corner efficiently. Keep practicing this technique, and you'll be able to tackle this section with confidence.
