Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
80 metres before the apex | 2 | 126 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 80 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to your minimum speed of 126 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or jerky inputs.
As you turn in, be mindful of your steering angle and throttle application. Aim to carry as much speed as possible through the corner, but be patient with the throttle and wait until you've reached the apex before gradually increasing the power. This will help you maintain control and maximize your exit speed.
Remember to keep the car in 2nd gear throughout this corner. The combination of your braking, turning, and throttle work will be crucial in setting you up for a strong exit and the next section of the track. Stay focused, be smooth, and trust your car's capabilities.
