Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
61 metres after turn-in | 1 | 95 km/h |
Segment 5 is a right-hand corner that requires the driver to slow down to 95 km/h in 1st gear. The braking point for this corner is 61 meters after the turn-in point, which means the driver needs to start braking well in advance to set up the car for 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 low speed and gear required for this corner suggest it may be a tight, technical section of the track that requires precise car control and smooth inputs from the driver. Maintaining momentum through the corner will be crucial, as the driver will need to be able to accelerate hard out of the exit to set up the next section of the track.
