1R/Fifth Gear Skid Pan 29 November

BRING YOUR OWN CAR: book a spot with the host to drive.

Driver fee $249.00 for approximately 3.5 hours. 1R/Fifth Gear Skid Pan events allow you to explore your vehicle's handling characteristics in a safe, controlled environment.

You will learn how to slide your car on a low-grip surface, the difference between understeer and oversteer and how to correct each type of skid, and how your vehicle's active safety systems, such as ABS and stability control, work to help you maintain control.

Other advanced car control techniques are also covered to help you improve your skills.

The skid pan is One Raceway's 9,100 square metre concrete surface, with a sprinkler system that keeps it wet so you can slide your vehicle at low speeds.

Entries are capped at a maximum of 16 cars, allowing all participants ample time on the skid pan.

Schedule: driver's briefing at 12:45pm, skid pan activity from 1:00pm to 4:30pm.

All roadworthy vehicles are eligible.

Rear-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended but not essential.

Vehicles must comply with a noise limit of 95dB at 30 metres.

Drivers must be a minimum of 14 years of age but are not required to hold a current driver's licence.

Passengers are permitted after the driver has completed two sessions on the skid pan, and instructors will also be on hand to sit in the passenger seats of participants' vehicles.

The event is jointly organised by One Raceway and Fifth Gear Motoring.
