Segment 2
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
140 metres before the apex | 2 | 93 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 140 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 93 km/h in 2nd gear. Maintain a smooth, controlled braking effort, and avoid any sudden or excessive braking that could unsettle the car.
As you turn in, be mindful of your steering input and throttle application. Aim to carry as much speed as possible through the corner while maintaining stability. Gradually increase the throttle as you reach the apex, being careful not to apply too much power too soon, which could cause the rear to step out.
Remember, the key to navigating this corner effectively is a well-executed braking zone, a smooth turn-in, and a progressive throttle application. Focus on these elements, and you'll be able to carry good speed through the combination and set yourself up well for the next section of the track.
