Found something.

Almost precisely what I'm after.

Almost, because... Its mere 24 hours drive (each way) from home...

Otherwise I'd be booking it now.

So- still on the search for something like that, but somewhat closer

Translation done by me, sorry for mistakes.



Course 1:

Skid control.

1 day(5 hours)

Main focus- increase drivers awareness of cars behaviour in most common accidents on slippery surfaces, incorporate it as a "learned reflex" into common behaviour of the driver.

Within course:
1 meal
Certificate of training.

1: position behind wheel. Compromising comfort vs ability to steer quickly and effecively.

2: wheel operations. Basic rules relating to quick, safe, and smooth steering inputs. Steering inputs and timings of these, on slippery surfaces. "Get down to the ground" for so (self)called "great drivers".

3: Turn (yaw) dynamics. Throttle vs steering wheel coordination. Adding grip to front axis by easing off the throttle. Correct ways of changing course (overtaking, avoiding pedestrians, lane change etc) on slippery surfaces.

4 braking on straight. Dynamics of braking on slippery surfaces.

5: driving in curve on slippery surface. Dynamics.

6: braking in turn. Forces acting on car during turn, during braking, during both turning and braking. Oversteer and under steer. Choosing correct trajectory for car. Dangers of braking with ABS. Ways of braking without ABS.

7: braking while avoiding obstacle (pedestrian) on slippery surface. Early decisions regarding trajectory. Incorporating reflexes regarding to correct steering wheel-throttle-brakes coordination.

8: reactions for skid of rear axis. Good ways, bad ways. Methods of avoiding skids and methods of inducing skids. When " drift" is a good thing and when not. Methods of coming out from skid (regaining grip). How quickly and how far to steer.

Course 2

First degree of advanced driving.
Designed primarily for those who completed course 1(skid control)


Practical (in-car) teachings regarding driving in difficult conditions. Bettering control and feel of the car.

Included:
1 meal
Certificate on completion.

1: slalom. Basic version to incorporate as a reflex correct coordination steering throttle. Advanced slalom with induced oversteer skid.

2: honing obstacle avoidance.
Cursants are told on which side to avoid the obstacle by instructor. Instructor may be seated in front, but is mostly in the back seat and indicates direction by hand- to induce reflex of checking mirrors before committing to manoeuvre.

3: braking on straight. Dynamics of braking on various surfaces. Introduction and explanation of ESP and ABS during "emergency escape" (deliberate steering off the road/into roadside or even ditch)

4: EDU DRIFT. Honing drift and skid control. Inducing, maintaining and breaking skid.

5: drive on a curve, slippery surface. Understeer and oversteer. Honing skill.

6: 90 and 180 degree turns. Rules regarding handbrake use in critical situations.

7: honing 180 degree turns (J-turn)

8: test. Obstacle course. All at once.

Course 3

Second degree advanced driving.

As before- control and feel of car, critically bad conditions, slippery etc.

Meal+ certificate.

I : obstacle avoidance on declining road.

Obstacle set beyond summit of a hill, approaching driver cannot see its placement.

II: honing car turns.

1: J-turns

2: 360 degrees "Aaltonen"

Recognised as effective way of controlling large skids/regaining grip.

III: EDU DRIFT

Honing skid control.

IV:
1: honing skills on obstacle course, time trials of obstacle course.

2: end test: time trial on obstacle course
