Segment 4
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
113 metres | 1 | 61 km/h |
Segment 4 is a tight right-hand corner that requires careful braking and a smooth entry to maintain momentum. The lowest gear is 1, indicating a very slow-speed corner, and the lowest speed is just 61 km/h. The braking point is 113 meters, which means drivers will need to start braking well in advance to scrub off speed and set up for the turn.
The racing line shown in the image suggests an early apex approach, allowing the driver to carry more speed through the corner and maximize the exit. However, this will require precise throttle control and a delicate balance between braking and turning to avoid understeer or losing the rear of the car.
Overall, this segment is a crucial part of the track that can make or break a lap. Mastering the entry, apex, and exit will be essential for achieving a fast, consistent lap time. Simracers will need to practice this corner extensively to find the optimal braking point and line through the turn.
