Segment 10
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
8 metres after turn-in | 3 | 138 km/h |
Segment 10 is a left-hand corner that requires the driver to be in 3rd gear at a minimum speed of 138 km/h. The braking point for this corner is 8 metres after the turn-in point, which means the driver needs to start braking relatively late to maintain momentum through the turn.
The racing line shown in the image indicates that the driver should aim to take a wide entry into the corner, gradually tightening their line as they approach the apex. This will allow them to carry more speed through the turn and maximize their exit speed.
The relatively high minimum speed and late braking point suggest that this is a high-speed corner that requires the driver to be precise with their inputs and maintain a smooth, controlled line. Maintaining momentum through this section will be crucial for setting up a strong exit and carrying speed onto the next straight.
