Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
155 metres before the apex | 3 | 230 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 155-meter mark, ensuring a smooth and progressive application of the brakes. This will allow you to effectively slow the car and set up for the turn-in. Maintain a consistent gear, likely 3rd, throughout the corner to optimize your speed and control. At the apex, aim to achieve your minimum speed of 230 km/h, then smoothly transition to the acceleration phase. Remember to be patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to stabilize before applying full power. By mastering the braking and throttle control in this corner, you'll be able to carry excellent speed through the entire segment.
