Full description
Driving well does not mean driving slowly: it means knowing how to react.
At the Castelletto Circuit, in the province of Pavia, you will learn that safety can also be an adrenalin-fuelled experience. A safe driving course in fact is not like going back to driving school: here we are not talking about parking in the back, but slaloms between cones and simulated drifts in total safety.
4 hours of theory and practice, with professional instructors. We are waiting for you!
What we will do
We’ll meet at around 8. 30 am at the Castelletto Circuit for a welcome coffee and to register.
At 9. 00 am, we’ll head into the classroom for an hour of interactive theory. Using slides and dynamic explanations, we’ll explore topics such as road safety, psycho-physical factors, riding position, control management, use of the gearbox and clutch, tyres and grip, and much more.
Once the theory session is over, we’ll move to the designated area of the circuit. This is where the practical exercises will begin, always with an instructor on board. We’ll work on practical exercises such as skid-car manoeuvres and controlling rear-axle traction loss, slow slalom, emergency braking and evasive braking to avoid obstacles, even on wet tarmac.
Driving in simulated high-risk conditions will enable us to safely tackle situations that may arise in real life. We’ll learn to handle the car with alertness, control and a cool head. The cars used are B- or C-segment models (such as the Opel Corsa or Renault Clio) , which are ideal for practising and replicating everyday driving conditions.
At the end of the exercises, around 1. 30 pm, we will return to the classroom for the final briefing. We will hand in the questionnaires, analyse any mistakes together and receive our certificate of attendance.
In total, the session lasts approximately 4 hours, from 9. 00 am to 1. 30 pm.
Who it is aimed at
The course is open to everyone over the age of 18 with a B licence, including new drivers. Foreign driving licences are also accepted, provided they are issued within the European Community.
Other information
The course takes place throughout the year and is confirmed with a minimum of 5 participants. We recommend booking well in advance as availability sells out very easily.
Training takes place in compact B or C-segment cars, popular models such as the Opel Corsa or Skoda Fabia. The idea is simple: practice in cars that you could also drive every day, so that you immediately transfer what you learn to real driving.
Accompanying persons are welcome: they can attend both the theoretical part in the classroom and the practical tests of the participants.
Professional photos and videos of the experience are available on request. Alternatively, accompanying persons can take photos and videos during the practical test.
