点评:I had such a great time on the Skid Pan Experience on Saturday. There were 12 of us in total, split into two groups. Scott and Martyn were our instructors and both of them were fantastic, putting us at ease and making everything nice and clear. We had Scott in our group and he was great. We were able to drive both rear wheel and front wheel cars. There were three of us in each car and we just swapped around. The instructors stood in the middle of the skid pan and called out instructions.
First of all we went out and drove laps around the circuit so they could see what we could do. We then came in and had a lot of technical instruction (while the other group were out). We then went out again, driving the other way around the circuit, putting everything we had been taught into practice. We then went out with Scott who showed us how do control a straight-line skid and also how to avoid someone who may step into the middle of the road. We all then had a go at these two procedures. That was great fun.
Finally, there was an individual time trial with a medal going to the eventual winner. I had a fabulous time and certainly learnt quite a lot. To quote Martyn I certainly came away "more confident, not necessarily more competent".
What a great course. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks very much.
翻译:周六的“Skid Pan Experience”体验真是太棒了!我们一共12个人,分成两组。Scott和Martyn是我们的教练,他们俩都非常棒,让我们感觉很自在,把一切都讲解得井井有条。Scott在我们组,他很棒。我们能够驾驶后轮和前轮的赛车。每辆车上我们三个人,我们只是交换位置。教练们站在Skid Pan的中间,大声喊出指令。
首先,我们绕着赛道跑了几圈,让他们看看我们能做到什么。然后我们回来接受了很多技术指导(当时另一组在外面)。然后我们又绕着赛道跑了一遍,把学到的东西都付诸实践。之后,Scott又教了我们如何控制直线滑行,以及如何避开可能踩到路中间的人。之后,我们都尝试了这两种操作。真是太有趣了。
最后,还有一场个人计时赛,最终获胜者将获得一枚奖牌。我度过了一段美妙的时光,当然也学到了很多东西。用马丁的话来说,我确实“更加自信了,但不一定更有能力了”。
这门课程太棒了!我会推荐给所有人。非常感谢。
