Segment 6
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
33 metres before the apex | 2 | 57 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 33 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to your minimum speed of 57 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and be ready to transition to the turn-in phase.
As you turn in, keep the car in 2nd gear, which will provide the right balance of control and acceleration out of the corner. Aim to reach your minimum speed at the apex, then smoothly apply the throttle to power out of the corner. Pay attention to the gradient of your throttle application - a gradual, progressive throttle will help the rear tires maintain grip.
Remember, this is a combination corner, so be prepared to adjust your line and inputs as the corner tightens up. Stay focused, trust your braking point, and use the telemetry data to refine your technique. With practice, you'll be able to carry more speed through this challenging section.
