Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
80 metres before the apex | 1 | 70 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 80 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 70 km/h. Maintain a consistent, smooth braking pressure throughout this phase, and be ready to transition into the turn-in. As you reach the apex, be prepared to gently release the brakes and begin gradually applying the throttle to power out of the corner. Remember to keep the car in first gear throughout this segment. By mastering the braking and turn-in, you'll be able to carry more speed through the corner and maximize your exit velocity.
