Grass Autotesting

Whacky Sports has its very own grass autotesting track which is a grass track version of a skidpan. There is very little traction - which means there is a tendency to "drift" and skid while driving.

Professional Co Driver

This is the sport where rally drivers learn their craft. With a professional grass autotesting driver in the passenger seat, each participant will get one-on-one tuition on how to hurl the cars round the tight, twisty course, mastering handbrake turns and reverse flicks. Situations are simulated on the grass track and drivers will have the opportunity to try out the normal method of braking, cadence braking and all the new techniques learnt.

The safe environment in which these manoeuvres are taught allows participants to learn basic handling, slaloms, 360 degree spins and figures of eight on slippery surface and then test driving skills and throttle control against the clock.

Improve Driving Skills

Grass autotesting, like skid pan driving, teaches participants how to control vehicles on our minimum-friction track surface. Of the many types of skid control, tracking on slippery roads and coping with adverse conditions are two of the more common situations faced on the roads.

This session shows participants how to cope with all these potentially dangerous situations. There are many different types of skids all requiring different techniques - there is no better place to train on how to deal with them than on the grass autotesting track.
