Same in Austria. It is so helpful to learn how to handle a (your) car in extreme situations, before having to encounter these in the wild.

I loved the skid plates — for those who don't know: this is basically a "moving floor" that yerks your rear wheels randomly left or right when you drive over it. This happens right before a wet section of track and depending on the speed you have while going over it recovering can be quite a challenge.

My car did not have ABS, so I had a lot of fun doing this.

Thank you for this explanation! There is a completely different kind of device called a "skid plate" in the context of 4x4 off-road driving, so I was imagining some gnarly things must be happening in this "safety driving" course!
