Driving course in wet and low grip conditions

The Wet and Low-Grip Driving Course provides essential knowledge and skills for handling risky driving situations in adverse conditions. It focuses on vehicle control, emergency braking, and loss-of-traction management techniques, using tools such as simulators and specialized tracks for practice in controlled scenarios. It includes training on tires and their behavior, the effects of aquaplaning, and the importance of road safety.

The course offers practical experience in identifying and managing oversteer and understeer, as well as in applying ABS braking and ESP stability control techniques. The aim is to improve risk perception and increase driver confidence in low-traction situations, preparing them to react safely and effectively on the road.
