Segment 8
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
97 metres before the apex | 2 | 80 km/h |
For this left-hand corner, focus on braking early and smoothly to set up a good exit. Begin braking around 97 meters before the apex, using moderate pressure to slow the car to the minimum speed of 80 km/h in second gear. As you turn in, gradually release the brakes and aim to be at full throttle by the apex. Maintain a steady throttle application through the exit, allowing the car to accelerate out of the corner. Remember to be patient with the throttle and let the car stabilize before applying full power. By braking early and carrying good momentum through the corner, you can maximize your speed on the exit and set yourself up well for the next section of the track.
