AC3 Advanced Car Control Clinic – Lime Rock

AC3 (Advanced Car Control Clinic) utilizes the Skid Pad and Auto Cross course on the upper level at Lime Rock. ADSS (Advanced Driving Skills School) is designed to introduce and develop car control skills, but AC3 will help take your car control to the next level! Information for Students There are a very limited number of student slots available for this event to ensure maximum seat time. This is a half day event with morning and afternoon sessions available. Plan to arrive by 45 minutes before your start time. End of day will be noon for the morning session and 5 PM for the afternoon session. Overview Theory – Each session begins with a “chalk talk”, wherein our instructors explain vehicle dynamics, the techniques students will be taught, and summarize the exercises for the day. Skid Pad – The practical exercises include spending part of the session on the skid pad learning and practicing: understeer, oversteer, throttle steering, and power-slides. These basic building blocks are key to learning how to bring your car under control when the unexpected happens and how to establish a balanced cornering attitude. Car Control Course – The practical exercises also include spending part of the session on the closed-loop handling course. Here, you will put your skidpad practice to the test and build new skills: trail-braking, inducing rotation, countering understeer, and applying oversteer.
