Segment 6
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
145 metres before the apex | 3 | 127 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 145-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you're in the ideal 3rd gear. Aim to reach your minimum speed of 127 km/h at the apex, where you can then smoothly transition to the acceleration phase. Remember to trail the brakes slightly as you turn in, allowing the car to settle and providing better control through the corner. Once at the apex, gradually apply the throttle, monitoring the grip and stability of the rear tires. Maintain a consistent, progressive throttle application to optimize your exit speed. By mastering the braking, turning, and throttle application in this corner, you'll be able to carry excellent momentum through the next section of the circuit.
