Segment 2
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
30 metres after turn-in | 1 | 66 km/h |
Segment 2 is a right-hand corner that requires the driver to slow down to 66 km/h in 1st gear. The braking point for this corner is 30 meters after the turn-in point, which means the driver needs to start braking relatively late to maintain momentum through the turn.
The racing line shown in the image suggests an aggressive approach, hugging the inside of the corner and then gradually unwinding the steering to accelerate out of the exit. This will allow the driver to maximize their speed and carry as much momentum as possible through the corner.
To execute this corner effectively, the driver will need to trail-brake into the turn, gradually releasing the brakes as they approach the apex. They'll also need to be smooth with their throttle application on corner exit to avoid any loss of traction. Overall, this is a challenging but rewarding corner that will test the driver's car control and ability to manage their speed.
