Segment 2
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
96 metres before the apex | 2 | 102 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 96 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 102 km/h. Maintain a smooth, controlled braking pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or excessive braking inputs.
As you turn in, keep the car in 2nd gear, which will provide the necessary torque to power through the corner. Be patient with your throttle application, gradually increasing the throttle as you reach the apex to maintain stability and control. Avoid any abrupt throttle inputs, as this can unsettle the car and compromise your exit speed.
Remember to focus on a clean, efficient line through the corner, using the full width of the track where possible. By mastering the braking and throttle control in this combination corner, you'll be able to carry more speed and momentum onto the next straight, setting you up for a strong exit.
