Segment 3
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
31 metres before the apex | 3 | 71 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 31 meters before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 71 km/h in 3rd gear. Maintain a smooth, controlled braking pressure throughout the initial phase, then gradually transition to trail braking as you turn in. This will help stabilize the car and allow you to carry more speed through the corner. Be patient with the throttle application on corner exit, gradually increasing pressure to avoid unsettling the rear. By mastering the braking and throttle control in this segment, you'll be able to carry excellent momentum through the combination and set yourself up well for the next section of the circuit.
