Segment 7
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
143 metres before the apex | 2 | 98 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 143-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 98 km/h by the time you reach the apex. Maintain a consistent, smooth application of the brake pedal throughout the braking zone, and be ready to transition to the throttle as you begin to turn in. Remember to keep the car in 2nd gear for optimal control through this corner. Stay patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to settle before gradually increasing power to maximize your exit speed. Consistent, measured inputs will be key to navigating this challenging section of the circuit effectively.
