Drivers can jump onto the Tockwith Motorsports skid pan, a slippery circle ideal for simulating precarious driving conditions such as extreme weather and treacherous sharp bends. Under expert instruction, students will have an in-car briefing lasting five to ten minutes, during which they will learn more about the rotten tricks of the road that can lead to loss of car control. This will be followed by a 20-minute practice under the instructor’s eye.
