It's the most cost effective option to get on track. A great next step for Honda Teen and Adult Defensive Driving Program graduates. Advanced braking, shifting, handling, cornering and skid car exercises further knowledge of the physics and dynamics of driving.
This class takes defensive driving to the next level, covering the essential vehicle dynamics of driving through both classroom session and in-car drills. The in-car advanced braking, skid car, shifting, handling and cornering drills will take place in our Vehicle Dynamics Center and on the keyhole oval of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
