We are excited to announce our 2nd Motorsport event and 1st training session for the year: The Skidpan at Sutton Road Driver Training Complex, Sunday 2 April 2023. 

For those that aren't familiar, the skidpan is a slippery circuit that replicates driving on snow/ice or hitting a patch of oil. It's smooth concrete, water is applied to provide the slide..... Vehicle speeds are less than 50 km/h and as the circuit is so slippery, there is very little wear on tyres and very low risk. The fun factor is extreme as you attempt to control your car with little or no traction! 

The Skidpan will help you to better understand your vehicle and car control in general, including what to do when there is understeer or oversteer. 

This is a great learning event for everyone.  We strongly encourage new drivers to come and learn more about their vehicle and for experienced drivers to refresh their skills and of course, have fun!

Skills learnt on the skidpan are invaluable and can save lives.

There will be people available on the day for those wanting instruction or support. 

Light refreshments will be available (thanks to El Presidente's baking). Please bring drinks and lunch, or drive to nearby Queanbeyan.

Drivers briefing will be at 8:15am sharp. The fun begins at 8:30.  

NOTE: We've put together special pricing for everyone. $120 ($140 for non-members) is per vehicle with multiple drivers allowed, for the ENTIRE day. Places are limited, register early to avoid disappointment!

There will be some surprises on the day, including some special awards.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
