Course Title: Duration:
Evaluation & Test Driver (DAY 5) Half Day
No. of Delegates: 1 to 1 Instructor
For those drivers needing to evaluate and test a vehicle at and beyond its limit of adhesion. We offer this course to promote confidence and understanding of a vehicles sometimes unpredictable responses to driver inputs when tyre grip levels have been saturated. Health and Safety being our first consideration, the delegate will experience driving a vehicle beyond its limit of adhesion with room to recover. Exploring the subtle inputs required to balance and recover a vehicle in an understeer and oversteer scenario, balancing yaw rate with steering input can be challenging. Necessary inputs to control an over speeding vehicle are often described as counter intuitive. We give you the opportunity to explore these inputs in safety under expert guidance.
