Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
N/A | 3 | 160 km/h |
For this segment, the driver is approaching a combination corner at the Monza circuit. As they approach the corner, they should focus on the following:
Braking: The driver should begin braking early and trail brake into the corner. This will help them carry more speed through the turn and set up a strong exit. Pay attention to the brake pressure and ensure a smooth, progressive application.
Turning In: Once the driver has reached the braking point, they should begin turning the car into the corner. Aim to hit the apex smoothly, using the full width of the track to maximize the radius.
Throttle Application: After the apex, the driver should gradually apply the throttle, being careful not to induce any unwanted oversteer. Monitor the throttle trace and ensure a clean, progressive application.
Remember, the key to this combination corner is maintaining momentum. Focus on your braking, turn-in, and throttle application to carry as much speed as possible through the turn. With practice, you'll be able to navigate this section of the circuit with confidence.
