Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
134 metres before the apex | 2 | 107 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 134-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 107 km/h in second gear. Maintain a smooth, progressive application of the brakes, gradually transitioning to turn-in. Once you reach the apex, smoothly apply the throttle to power out of the corner, being mindful of any delay in throttle application to allow the car to stabilize. Remember, the key to navigating this corner effectively is a well-executed braking phase, followed by a controlled and progressive acceleration out of the turn. Approach this corner with confidence, and you'll be able to carry excellent speed through the entire segment.
