Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
112 metres before the apex | 1 | 58 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 112-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you're in the lowest gear, 1st, to maintain control through the turn. As you trail-brake into the corner, gradually reduce your speed to reach the minimum of 58 km/h at the apex. Smoothly transition from braking to throttle application, being mindful of any delay in throttle input to allow the car to stabilize. Maintain a steady, progressive throttle through the exit to maximize your acceleration out of the corner. Remember, the key is to find the balance between braking, turning, and throttle application to carry as much speed as possible through this challenging section.
