  • Overview

    For every action by a driver there is a reaction from the vehicle and tyres that will occur.

    Do you realize how your vehicle will respond to your actions...especially at a critical moment?

    Do you understand the balance between acceleration, braking and steering that occurs, especially at the dynamic limits of a vehicle and its tyre grip?

    A competent driver always drives within their own and their vehicle's limits. However, during the licensing process, these limits are not tested. All drivers benefit from experience, but some driving experiences are rare events. This course allows drivers to experience these rare or unexpected events in a safe, controlled training centre.

    Therefore the Advanced Car Control Course is aimed at educating drivers through practical experience on how they should and shouldn't react to adverse driving situations.

    Our philosophy is to enhance your skills and knowledge about the complexity of driving and the risks associated without creating overconfidence in new found abilities. We will reinforce the limitations all drivers can face in terms of skill failures, vehicle limits and human reactions.

    You can elect to attend the full day course or just the morning session called the S1: Accident Avoidance Session or just the afternoon session called the S2: Skid Pan Experience.

    You can use your own car or choose to use vehicles we supply.

    • You can use your own car. This program is most often attended by participants wanting to use their own vehicle (eg. learning how to handle their new vehicle like a sportscar)
    • No driving exercises will put excess wear on any vehicle components. Tyre wear will be equivalent to driving 500km on the highway.
    • But we can also hire vehicles for your course. Your fee covers fuel and tyre wear and all insurance (whilst under our instruction). Participants who break our rules or don't follow our instructions may be liable for any damage caused. Please note: car hire means a car is supplied for all your driving maneuvers but other drivers might also access this car when not being used by you.
    • Refund of the e-learning modules is not possible once log-in has commenced. 
    • For the practical course, your booking reserves a place on the session, which has limited numbers. Like a music concert, failure to attend, consumes your position. No refund or rebooking is available for non-attendance. If unwell a rebooking is available with a doctors certificate, cancellation and refund (of practical course fee) is available provided more than 48 hours notice is provided before the course start.
  • Your voucher(s) and booking information will be included in the confirmation email you will receive shortly after purchasing the experience on Amazed.com.

    If the booking needs to be first confirmed by the host, you will receive your Amazed voucher within 24-48 hours of purchase.
