Segment 3
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
13980 metres before the apex | 1 | 76 km/h |
For this straight segment, maintain full throttle application throughout. As you approach the end of the straight, begin gently braking to prepare for the upcoming corner. Focus on a smooth, progressive braking technique to scrub off speed without upsetting the car's balance. Once you reach the braking point, firmly apply the brakes to slow the car to the minimum speed required to negotiate the corner. Remember to keep the car in the lowest possible gear to maximize acceleration out of the corner. Maintain a consistent, controlled steering input to keep the car stable and on the optimal line through the turn. By executing this sequence smoothly, you'll be able to carry maximum speed through the straight and set yourself up well for the next corner.
