Overview
Become a safer and more aware driver, whilst receiving tips from the experts on Mt Cotton's Diesel Skid Pan. Skid pan driver training gives you the chance to jump behind the wheel of our rear wheel drive Lotus Exige and learn the secrets to increased vehicle control. This is the ultimate in driver training and skid pan control! Just imagine, it's a miserable wet day and you're unaware that a truck travelling ten 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? Driving one of our rear-wheel-drive Lotus Exige's, you will be personally coached in the skills necessary to correct a skidding car. During the skid pan driver training you will work to correct oversteer and understeer and learn what to do if you lose control of your car. More importantly, you will learn how to avoid getting into these situations in the first place. You are also welcome to try your own car on the skid pan (subject to noise restrictions). Please Note: You must hold a valid driver's license in order to participate in the experience and this must be brought with you on the day of your experience. If using you own car, please ensure it is well serviced and in a road worthy condition with valid registration and insurance. If using your own car it must meet normal legal noise requirements.
