Segment 3
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
110 metres before the apex | 2 | 90 km/h |
As you approach this right-hand corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 110-meter mark before the apex, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 90 km/h by the time you reach the apex. Maintain a steady, controlled application of the brake pedal throughout the braking zone. As you turn in, gradually release the brakes and smoothly transition to the throttle, allowing the car to accelerate out of the corner in 2nd gear. Remember to be patient with the throttle application, allowing the car to stabilize before applying full power. By mastering this braking and turn-in technique, you'll be able to carry good speed through the corner and set yourself up well for the next straight.
