Segment 9
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
65 metres before the apex | 3 | 105 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 65-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you've slowed down to the ideal minimum speed of 105 km/h by the time you reach the apex. Maintain a steady, controlled application of the brake pedal, and be ready to transition smoothly into the turn-in phase.
Once you've reached the apex, gradually increase your throttle application to power out of the corner. Pay attention to the gradient of your throttle input, applying the throttle firmly but progressively to avoid any instability. Remember to keep the car in 3rd gear throughout this corner, as this will provide the optimal balance of control and acceleration.
By executing this corner with precision, you'll be able to carry good speed through the exit and set yourself up well for the next section of the track. Stay focused, trust your braking points, and maintain a smooth, controlled driving style.
