I don't know if Aaron does drifting days, but that wasn't my intention. One of the benefits of organising this ourselves is that it can be tailored to suit our requirements. I'd suggest an advanced driver training day would be the best format for us, and one where we would learn the most about the capabilities of our cars and ourselves.
It typically starts with some classroom instruction
(sounds dull I know, but you will find it very valuable later). Aaron will show you how to set up your seat and steering wheel for best control. He will tell you what to do, and what not to do when driving. Perhaps with some interesting examples of why that is the case.
Then on to the wet skid pan where several different scenarios are set up with witches hats. What does ABS feel like ? What does it do ? How long does it take to stop from 60kmh ? 100kmh ? Can you steer to avoid obstacles while braking ? How fast can you corner ? What difference does traction control make ? What happens if you turn it off ? What do you do if the car oversteers or understeers ? Can you induce oversteer with the throttle or the handbrake ? Can you control it ?
An instructor usually demonstrates each exercise first, then sits with you in the car as you do it until you get the hang of it.
The day is run as Advanced Driver Training under instruction. It is not a free for all, hooning or any dangerous driving is not tolerated. Having said that, there is still an incredible amount of fun to be had.
