Segment 2
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
55 metres | 2 | 104 km/h |
Segment 2 is a left-hand corner that requires the driver to brake from a speed of 104 km/h while in 2nd gear. The braking point is 55 meters before the turn-in point, where the driver will need to gradually increase the steering angle to negotiate the corner smoothly.
This corner presents a moderate challenge, as the relatively high entry speed and the need to slow down significantly before the turn-in point require precise braking and throttle control from the driver. Maintaining a consistent racing line through the corner will be crucial to carry as much speed as possible while exiting the turn.
Simracers should focus on hitting their braking point accurately, smoothly transitioning from braking to turning, and gradually applying the throttle to maximize traction and exit speed. Careful management of the car's balance and weight transfer will be essential to maintain control and optimize lap times through this segment.
