Nine very short braking moments Like all tracks which are very drivable, the Suzuka International Racing Course has fast corners where use of the brakes is almost insignificant. The brakes are not used at all on half of the 18 turns and on another three, the braking distance does not even reach 50 meters (164 feet) and the brakes are used for less than 12 seconds per lap, the equivalent of 13 percent of the entire GP. There are only two braking episodes where the speed drops by over 170 km/h (105.6 mph) and both take 2.3 seconds to be completed. The values on Turn 9, named after Ernst Degner, are slightly lower but the corner requires 4.3 G of deceleration and 133 kg (293 lbs.) of load on the brake pedal. From the starting line to the checkered flag, each driver exerts a total load of 38 metric tons on the brake pedal. The quickest 100 meters Of the nine braking points at the Suzuka International Racing Course, only two are classified by Brembo technicians as highly demanding on the brakes, one is of medium difficulty and the remaining six are light. The most challenging by far is Turn 16, where the cars go from 273 km/h (169 mph) to 85 km/h (52.8 mph) in just 100 meters (109 yards). During the 2.33 seconds when the brakes are operating, the drivers apply a 139 kg (306 lbs.) load on the pedal and are subject to a peak deceleration of 4.7 G. And what about the video games? To brake perfectly on Turn 16 in the Formula 1 video game you need to keep a cool head. As soon as you have gone past the 150 meter sign, press hard on the brake pedal and move down into second gear. Make sure you're not caught out by the curb by turning right into what is not a strip of tarmac but is not used by the single-seaters. You must only turn near the curb where there is a plastic post inside it on the grass. Make sure you use the right amount of throttle on the chicane to avoid getting into a spin.
