Segment 10
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
104 metres before the apex | 2 | 119 km/h |
As you approach this left-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 104 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 119 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and avoid any sudden or excessive braking.
As you turn in, keep the car in 2nd gear, which will provide the necessary torque to power through the corner. Aim to reach the apex at the lowest speed, then gradually apply the throttle to accelerate out of the corner. Be mindful of any delay in throttle application, as this can affect the car's stability. Remember to maintain a smooth, progressive throttle input to optimize your exit speed.
Focus on executing this corner with precision and control. By mastering the braking point, gear selection, and throttle application, you can carry more speed through the corner and improve your overall lap time.
