Segment 4
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
98 metres before the apex | 1 | 81 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 98 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 81 km/h. Maintain a consistent gear throughout the corner, using the lowest gear to maximize traction and control.
When turning into the corner, be smooth and progressive with your steering input. Avoid any sudden or jerky movements, as this can unsettle the car. Gradually increase your throttle application as you reach the apex, being careful not to apply too much power too soon, which could cause the rear to step out.
Remember to keep your eyes focused on the exit of the corner, using your peripheral vision to guide the car through the turn. This will help you maintain a smooth, controlled line and set you up well for the next section of the track.
