Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
40 metres before the apex | 2 | 79 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 40 meters before the apex, ensuring you're in the ideal second gear. Aim to reach your minimum speed of 79 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 rotate and set up for a strong exit. Maintain a consistent throttle application after the apex, gradually increasing pressure to maximize traction and acceleration out of the corner. By executing this corner with precision, you'll carry valuable momentum onto the next straight.
