Segment 5
Braking Point | Gear | Minimum speed |
105 metres before the apex | 2 | 89 km/h |
As you approach this combination corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 105 meters before the apex, ensuring you've slowed down to the ideal minimum speed of 89 km/h in 2nd gear. Maintain a smooth, progressive application of the brakes, gradually transitioning into the turn-in. Once you reach the apex, smoothly reapply the throttle, being mindful of any need to lift or modulate the throttle to maintain control. Remember, the key is to find the right balance between braking, turning, and accelerating to carry as much speed as possible through the corner. Stay focused, trust your instincts, and you'll be able to navigate this segment with confidence.
