Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
127 metres before the apex | 2 | 53 km/h |
For this corner, focus on braking smoothly and carrying as much speed as possible through the apex. Begin braking at the 127-meter mark, gently applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 53 km/h in 2nd gear at the apex. As you approach the apex, gradually release the brakes and begin applying the throttle to accelerate out of the corner. Maintain a steady throttle application, avoiding any sudden inputs, to ensure a clean exit. Remember, the key is to find the balance between braking, turning, and accelerating to maximize your speed through this combination corner.
