Segment 1
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
116 metres before the apex | 2 | 82 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 116 meters before the apex, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 82 km/h. Maintain a smooth, consistent brake pressure throughout the braking zone, and be ready to transition into the turn-in phase.
Once you reach the apex, gently release the brakes and begin applying the throttle. Pay attention to the throttle application, ensuring a smooth and progressive increase in power to maximize traction and acceleration out of the corner. Remember to keep the car in 2nd gear throughout this segment.
By executing a well-timed and controlled braking maneuver, followed by a smooth throttle application, you can optimize your performance through this combination corner. Stay focused, maintain your composure, and trust your car's capabilities to carry you through this section of the circuit.
