Segment 9
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
66 metres before the apex | 2 | 84 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 66 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 84 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and be ready to transition into the turn-in phase.
Once you reach the apex, gently release the brakes and begin applying the throttle. Pay attention to the throttle application, ensuring a smooth, progressive increase in power to maximize traction and acceleration out of the corner. Remember to keep the car in 2nd gear throughout this segment.
By executing a well-timed and controlled braking maneuver, followed by a smooth throttle application, you'll be able to carry good speed through this combination corner and set yourself up for the next section of the track. Stay focused, be patient, and trust your car's capabilities.
