Turn 1 – Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In terms of braking, the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is one of the most demanding<\/a> in the entire World Championship due to both the high temperatures and the three major brakes required on the track. Riders brake 10 times for approximately 30 seconds on each lap, meaning that 28% of their time on the track is spent braking.<\/p>\n

The hardest braking point is on the approach into turn 1<\/strong>, as the rider has been going full throttle on the starting straight that stretches for over a kilometre. To take the turn safely, the bike must be going at 100 km\/h, but on the first straight it reaches speeds of up to 340 km\/h. This means a deceleration of 240 km\/h in just 285 metres.<\/p>\n

The F1 cars competing on this circuit \u201conly\u201d reach a speed of slightly more than 315 km\/h on this straight, but they take the bend at 156 km\/h.<\/p>\n
