Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
110 metres before the apex | 2 | 69 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 110 meters before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 69 km/h in 2nd gear. Maintain a smooth, controlled braking pressure throughout this phase, gradually transitioning to turn-in. Once at the apex, smoothly apply the throttle, allowing the car to accelerate out of the corner. Remember to be patient with the throttle application, letting the car stabilize before applying full power. By mastering the braking and throttle control through this corner, you'll be able to carry excellent momentum and speed onto the next straight.
