Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
74 metres before the apex | 2 | 90 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 74-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you've slowed down to the ideal minimum speed of 90 km/h by the time you reach the apex. Maintain a steady, controlled application of the brake pedal throughout the braking zone. As you turn in, gradually release the brakes and smoothly transition to the throttle, allowing the car to accelerate out of the corner in 2nd gear. Remember to be patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to stabilize before applying full power. By executing this corner with precision, you'll be able to carry excellent momentum through the exit and onto the next straight.
