Michael dos Santos - Race Plan No.1

Conclusion

Spa is a circuit where a lot of time can be lost by being too heavy on the brakes. Segments where a slight / light tap is enough will maintain your cars speed much better than a heavier foot. A few long straights are optimal for gaining positions in a race. Therefore concentrate on the exit from the segment before. Be patient, wait for the apex then get to full throttle quickly .

Set Up Advice

No specific setup changes required based on the telemetry data.

Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps - Belgium

--> Track Titan website - Segment analysis <--

Segment 1 - "La Source"

☐ Brake later and press the brakes harder. Trail brake a little earlier. Be more patient on the throttle. You were a little too early making you delay yourself to full throttle.

Segment 2

☐ Get closer to the curb on the left before going up the hill. And use more of the inside curb on the top

Segment 3 - "Eau Rouge / Raidilion"

☐ All good.

Segment 4 - "Kemmel / Kemmel Straight"

☐ All good.

Segment 5 - "Les Combes"

☐ You're braking too early here. Brake later and press the brakes harder when getting on them. Trail brake here. Shift down to fifth to get a better acceleration in this segment.

Segment 6 - "Maimedy"

☐ Lifting way to much here. A quick lift to get the car rotated and then back on the throttle.

Segment 7 - "Bruxelles"

☐ Brake later and brake harder. Trail brake in to this corner as well. Get on the throttle when you see the exit not before that.

Segment 8 - "Speaker's Corner"

☐ Braking too harsh in to this corner and holding on to the brakes for too long. This is giving you understeer since it is a downhill turn. A quick tap is enough.

Segment 9 - "Double Gauche"

☐ You're too harsh and too early on the brakes. You are also holding on to the brakes for too long. A quick tap is enough. Try taking it in 7th gear. You might get a better acceleration with the lower gear. See what works best for you, it'll depend on your throttle control.

Segment 10 - "Les Fagnes"

☐ You're too slow on the brakes and braking too early. Hard on the brakes in to this corner and use trail brake here. You are a little early on the throttle. Get on the throttle a car length later and do not lift as much when turning left afterwards. Shift down to fifth to get better rotation in the first corner.

Segment 11 - "Campus"

☐ Braking too slow and early. Use trail braking in this corner and focus on a very good exit here.

Segment 12 - "Stavelot"

☐ Too slow and too early on the brakes. To much throttle in the middle part making you go wide and be late on the throttle for the next corner. Shift down to 3rd to also get better rotation.

Segment 13 - "Courbe Paul Frère"

☐ Nicely done.

Segment 14 - "Blanchimont"

☐ Everything fine.

Segment 15 - "Chicane / Bus stop"

☐ Remaining on the brakes for too long loses you a substantial amount of time. Stay closer to the apex of the second half of the chicane. Altering your racing line especially on the first part of the chicane will almost save you 0.4 secs.
