“Wait, why? So that’s what was happening!” Young Version tried several of the available courses. Don’t laugh—these are the basics, and they matter. The menu includes driving-position checks, blind-spot checks, constant-radius cornering, full braking, ABS operation practice, and J-turns. It is genuinely useful. I thought my driving position was perfect, but when they suggested moving the seat one notch forward, driving suddenly became much easier!
Look at the illustration: in the front skid-pad area, you try different exercises. On a wet surface, activate ABS and steer around an obstacle while braking hard. On the constant-radius course, apply throttle and experience understeer, oversteer, and spins. In J-turn practice, even a 5 km/h difference changes how the car moves. You can feel what happens when you exceed the cornering limit—one “aha!” after another. You can also try both FF and FR cars, which is especially useful if you usually drive a Silvia but sometimes borrow a friend’s car.

So this is a spin! Whoa—understeer! Massive oversteer!
A course where you can experience driving at the limit in high-performance cars such as the Skyline is also planned.

The difference between FF and FR…

Now I finally understand it clearly.
Here are some of the available programs!
Anyone who drives regularly can take part. Safely experience dangerous situations such as severe understeer and spins, and build the judgment and knowledge needed to prevent accidents.
Basic
A dedicated course designed with women drivers’ feelings in mind. “I’ve never had to brake hard!” “I like cars, but I’m not confident driving…” Try it in a relaxed atmosphere.
Ladies
For paper-license holders or people who really lack confidence behind the wheel. You can find out what is causing the problem. It is also a good fit for people whose long driving suspension has ended.
Beginners
“Hey, why is the car going that way?”
This program focuses on parking in a garage and parallel parking. “Which way are the wheels turned?” It’s recommended for anyone who has that question. Maybe it’s just right for your mom!

Lesson
“Aaaah!”
You can experience the different characteristics of FF and FR cars at the same time. Opportunities like this are rare, so it’s a really valuable lesson!

There is even a machine that recreates a rollover crash. As expected, always fasten your seat belt securely!
