Segment 6
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
144 metres before the apex | 3 | 107 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 144-meter mark, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 107 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and aim to be in 3rd gear as you turn in.
At the apex, gently release the brakes and begin gradually applying the throttle. Be patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to stabilize before applying full power. This will help you maintain control and maximize your exit speed.
Remember, the key to this corner is a well-executed braking phase. Concentrate on your braking point, brake pressure, and gear selection to ensure a smooth, efficient entry and exit. With practice, you'll be able to consistently navigate this corner with confidence.
