Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, UK, February 08, 2012 -- The Alconbury
Airfield, off the A14 in Cambridgeshire, consisting of a mile-long
runway, has now been converted into a high-class driving training centre
with a virtual motorway on the old RAF airfield runway, acceleration
zones and practice areas for steering, braking and low speed control
techniques.
It's aim is to provide a high-skill and advanced driving training
especially to teenagers before they venture out on the roads zooming in
their cars. Keeping this in view the Chief Instructor of the Centre, Paul
Staple says, “There is no doubt that the skills we teach give young
drivers the ability to handle potentially life-threatening situations on
the roads. Our aim is to make our students better than average drivers
from the day they pass their test.”
The driving centre welcomes individuals and corporate teams alike for
driver training, which is rigorous and intensive, but at the same time a
fun and thrilling experience. Any company can bring their corporate teams
for an outdoor entertainment or team building activities at the new
revolutionary driving centre.
The central feature of the centre is the skid-car training, aiming at
training people to handle the car during a slide or skid on wet or icy
surfaces. The skid-car used for this training is a regular car that has
been mounted on a hydraulic frame with four wheels that can be raised to
simulate reduced grip and hence different types of skids to be managed.
There are two levels of skid-car training – The Skid-Car Experience (a
single session of three hours – costing £110 per head) and The Serious
Side Skid-Car (three separate sessions of one hour each – costing £155
per head).
