Hi there!
My girlfriend made me a special gift this Christmas: A winter driving training. :frozen: :thumb: It's located in the ÖAMTC safe driving arena in Saalfelden, Salzburg, just a two hours drive away. I went there on Dec. 27th and it was a great experience.
I already had a race driver training in Italy (under the flag of Alfa Romeo) and a rallye training, so I was a little sceptical, since ÖAMTC (touring club like AAA) training are not focused on the fun. But I was wrong. Our instructor pushed us (and our cars) to - and often over - the limit and it was great fun! :wave:
As a kid, I was a fan of Knight Rider, so I was stoked to learn the famous backwards turn, Michael Knight had to do so many times during his profession.
Funny enough, our instructor called this "Fluchtwende", which means Escape turn if you translate it word by word. :thumb:
The day also included a slalom par course, avoiding a collusion on icy roads and a skidding pad, which spines the car, while you drive over it. It was really a great day and I recommend such a training to everyone who wants to train his/her skills and have a lot of fun!
