Winter Driving School by Audi Club Jan 31-Feb 1, 2009, NH
http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/e...6FF31FEF52
The schools begin with a classroom session in which we will cover the basic principles of driving on snow and ice -- proper tire pressure, types of skid and how to correct for them, winter car preparation (such as why snow tires are a good idea, even on a modern all-wheel-drive car), and so on. We continue through a day and a half of exercises such as a slalom, a skid pad, and a road course (all under instructors' expert tutelage) in which these principles are put into practice. The skid pad teaches the difference between understeer and oversteer (and is a lot of fun!), while the slalom teaches the importance of looking ahead, weight transfer, and the proper amount of steering input. The road course puts everything together and includes a variety of turns, elevation changes, and a miniature slalom that is changed around periodically by devious instructors who want to see how you react to unexpected obstacles. The school wraps up with a fun 'time trial' where the goal is consistency through several runs.
How about a Riesentoter winter driving event similar to the one above?
