Segment 3
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
157 metres before the apex | 1 | 89 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 157-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you're in the ideal 1st gear for navigating this corner. Aim to reach your minimum speed of 89 km/h at the apex, where you can then smoothly transition to the acceleration phase. Remember to trail the brakes slightly as you turn in, allowing the car to settle and providing better control through the corner. Once at the apex, gradually increase your throttle application, being mindful of any delay to allow the car to stabilize. Maintain a consistent, progressive throttle input to optimize your exit speed. By mastering the braking, turning, and throttle application in this corner, you'll be able to carry valuable momentum onto the next straight.
