How hard can it be to correct a sliding car at 40km?

For those that have never been on a diesel skid pan before - you will be surprised!!

It’s a wet miserable day and unawares to you the truck traveling 10 cars in front of you is dropping diesel all over the road. Suddenly the car in front props and you have to brake and swerve to avoid a collision. Your car suddenly skids sideways! “What you do next could save your life” Do you know what you would do?

This course is designed to make you a safer and more aware driver whilst receiving tips from the experts on car control and skid control techniques. Using your own vehicle, you will be personally coached in the skills necessary to correct a skidding car. You will learn to control understeer, oversteer and what to do if you get out of control. More importantly you will learn how to avoid getting into these situations in the first place.

Note: Noise restrictions are enforced at Mt Cotton, highly modified noisy exhausts are not permitted.— Please contact us if you are in doubt.

After the initial briefing participants will be taken on some laps to demonstrate understeer, oversteer and the preventative and correction techniques. From here participants will rotate through in car instructional sessions on a 1 to 1 basis. As the circuit is designed to be coated with diesel skids can be achieved with very low speeds (not exceeding 40km/h) giving time to learn the art of car control.
