Drive a rear-wheel drive sports car for exciting driving action on a skidpan. You learn advanced car control while sliding our car on the slippery concrete training area. This is a very unique experience as there are very few skidpans in Australia so take the plunge and do something different!
A skid pan is an artificially slippery track which replicates driving on snow/ice or hitting a patch of oil. The driving speeds are less than 60km/h because the track is so slippery, the fun factor is extreme as you attempt to control your car with little or no traction. During the 4 hour session you will learn through experience how to recognise and control skids. This is a unique experience which not only enhances driving skills, but makes participants aware of their limitations and human reactions to adverse situations. During the session you will learn the importance of driving vision, steering & posture, skid & slide recognition (understeer, oversteer, spins) skid prevention techniques and skid control (reactive throttle control, steering correction, balance points).
Participants must be 18 years of age or above.
Maximum of 8 participants per group.
A maximum of 1 spectator per person is allowed.
In the event of rain or inclement weather your experience will still go ahead unless contacted by the experience provider. If your experience is cancelled you will be rescheduled by the provider.
Participants must wear closed and secure footwear (no thongs or sandals).

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
