Segment 4
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
92 metres before the apex | 2 | 91 km/h |
For this left-hand corner at the Imola circuit, focus on the following:
Approach the corner by braking firmly at the 92-meter mark before the apex. Maintain a steady brake pressure to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 91 km/h in second gear. As you reach the apex, gradually release the brakes and begin to apply the throttle smoothly to accelerate out of the corner. Be patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to stabilize before applying full power. This will help maintain control and maximize the exit speed.
Remember to look ahead through the corner, using the full width of the track to optimize your line. Trust the car's grip and focus on a clean, controlled entry and exit to carry good momentum onto the next straight. With practice, you'll be able to carry more speed through this left-hander at Imola.
