Segment 6
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
54 metres | 2 | 73 km/h |
Segment 6 is a left-hand corner that requires the driver to slow down to 73 km/h in 2nd gear. The braking point for this corner is 54 meters before the turn-in point, where the driver will need to gradually apply the brakes to scrub off speed and set up the car for the left-hand turn.
The racing line shown in the image indicates that the driver should aim to hug the inside of the corner, gradually increasing throttle application as they exit the turn and accelerate down the following straight. This will allow the driver to maintain momentum and maximize their speed through this section of the track.
Navigating this corner effectively will be crucial for setting up a good run onto the next straight. Drivers will need to balance their braking, turn-in, and throttle application to ensure a smooth and efficient passage through Segment 6.
