Analysis
The analysis below uses the Track Titan platform to compare a HYMO reference hotlap to one of the Track Titan community drivers at Agostini. You can see the Track Titan highlighted zone for improvement. Looking at the data it is apparent the community driver brakes too late. This puts them deeper into the corner and makes the line they need to take tighter. This costs the community driver minimum speed and causes them to miss the apex. Even though they are able to get back on throttle earlier the overall loss in this section is around 0.2s.

Hot Laps Top Tips
In high-speed corners, maintaining momentum while ensuring vehicle stability is crucial. Approach with a precise racing line to maximise cornering speed. Brake smoothly and efficiently before the corner to settle the car. Balance throttle application through the corner, gradually increasing as you exit. Focus on steering input to maintain a clean line, minimising steering corrections. Understand your vehicle's aerodynamics as downforce plays a significant role in high-speed corners. Lastly, practice consistently to refine your approach and build confidence in these challenging sections.
