Segment 9
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
105 metres before the apex | 1 | 81 km/h |
For this combination corner, focus on your braking point 105 meters before the apex. As you approach the corner, gradually apply the brakes to slow the car down, keeping the car stable. Once you reach the braking point, firmly apply the brakes to scrub off speed, but be careful not to lock the wheels.
Aim to carry as much speed as possible through the corner by trail braking slightly. This means you'll continue to apply some brake pressure even as you turn in. Gradually release the brakes and smoothly apply the throttle to power out of the corner. Pay attention to the minimum speed of 81 km/h at the apex, and make sure you're in the lowest gear, 1st, to maximize traction.
Remember, a smooth, controlled driving style is key through this combination corner. Focus on your braking point, trail braking, and throttle application to carry as much speed as possible while maintaining stability. With practice, you'll be able to navigate this section of the circuit with confidence.
