Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
175 metres before the apex | 6 | 271 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 175 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 271 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and be ready to transition into the turn-in phase. Remember to keep the car in 6th gear, as this will provide the optimal balance of speed and control through the corner. Stay patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to settle before gradually increasing the power to accelerate out of the corner. By mastering the braking and throttle control in this segment, you'll be able to carry excellent speed through the entire corner.
