Segment 6
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
130 metres before the apex | 6 | 116 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 130 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 116 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, aiming for a smooth, progressive increase in power to maximize your exit speed. Remember to keep the car in 6th gear throughout this corner complex.
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. Stay focused, trust your instincts, and keep practicing to refine your technique.
