According to the duration of the chosen Course, each participant will be assigned dynamic exercises of increasing difficulty.

 

To follow are the “standard” exercises on a Course lasting 2 days.

 

Correct driving approach: session of laps of the track with application of the concepts set out in theory; first contact participants have with the circuit.    

 

Over-steering in curve: controlling rear axle skid of the vehicle caused by transfer of loads as a result of braking on a curve with low grip surface.

 

Driving on the track with driver-instructor on board and measurement of Telemetric data: various laps driving on the track over the course of the two days, examining the dynamics of correct driving techniques: setting the course, driving fluidity, the effect of transferring loads on the vehicle.

 

Measuring and viewing the main parameters of each participant on screen, thanks to the use of sophisticated telemetry systems (also used in Formula 1).

 

Graphic comparison between the telemetric course of the driver-instructor and that of the participant.

 

During the telemetric measurement phase for the graph of the participant, and its subsequent comparison with that of the driver-instructor, in some sessions specially developed software will analyse the differences and give an objective value for the participant’s driving quality (DQC: Driving Quality Coefficient).

 

Emergency braking and avoiding an unexpected obstacle: simulation of an emergency stop on an artificially wet surface, with valorisation of the electronically-assisted braking systems.

 

Photocells sense the speed of travel close to the point where braking starts, and a luminous electronic device determines the sudden, causal need to swerve right or left to avoid an obstacle.

 

Miniskid car: mechanical system for lifting the rear axle of a front-wheel drive car, which causes over steering at low speed to be controlled with the correct technique for handling steering wheel and accelerator.

 

Off-Road: off-road course to learn correct techniques for driving a 4x4 on terrains with low grip (mud-earth), with different obstacles and gradients.

 

Driving on track with pace-car procedure and Telemetric data measurement: session of laps on race track with increasing dynamic understanding of the techniques of individual driving, with a driver-instructor in front of the guest’s vehicle in contact via radio: setting the course of the curve, modulating braking, use of the accelerator and using the engine’s torque-power.

 

Measuring and viewing the telemetric driving parameters on the screen, with graphic comparison between the guest’s telemetric course and that of the driver-instructor; in addition, a comparison is also made compared to previous driving sessions.

 

Slide machine: electronically-managed hydropneumatic “shake rig” that causes the vehicle being driven to swerve suddenly, simulating a side impact in a random direction on a low-grip surface that has been artificially soaked.

 

Skid car: pneumatic system for lifting the axles of the car, managed electronically by the driver-instructor in the vehicle to simulate over steering and under steering as required, and to learn techniques for controlling the car in the event that grip is lost whilst taking a curve.

 

Active safety course: a course specifically set out on an artificially wet surface with low-grip area to valorise active safety systems on the vehicles, i.e. ABS, ASR, VDC and EBD.
