Event: Extreme Winter Advanced Driver Training Day featuring an icy circuit at the Minden Fairgrounds, Minden, Ontario; home of weekend Ice Racing in Ontario for over 25 years. Program designed to test and improve the skills of all drivers either in their own vehicles or better, in our low-cost automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, studded tire rentals on a low friction surface. The incredible opportunity is to improve each driver’s car control skills and confidence in order to get safer and better in every circumstance, all while having incredible FUN. The additional opportunity is to further each driver’s knowledge and experience to later utilize during the “fair-weather” season on wet and dry pavement. We help folks accomplish their driving goals with tons of seat time coupled with lower speed, lower grip fun, in a controlled environment. Participants can challenge themselves by driving to/at the limit of the vehicle’s grip while accelerating, braking, and cornering with other drivers in the most extreme winter conditions. Don’t miss out on a limited opportunity to practice in ideal conditions to build great driving skills. Organized by DriveTeq.
