So true. On super slippery surfaces, the role of AWD cant be debated against.

Oh yes, i remember that drive.

I learnt a lot too, during the few laps we got with those instructors. Nothing like the real thing to learn.

Indeed! Now we're looking for the next event we can get to.

Wow this is an awesome experience and brilliant narrative with pics! Thanks for sharing Ben. I have to admit I do have slight weakness towards the brand and the events I have participated were also really memorable, they do know how to give potential customers or for that matter memories that are worth it! Next one to enrol is an Offroad one from RR @Ben

Thanks Jaggu. The memories from this event are surely worth the effort in putting up this report.

I would love to have a go at the RRs as well. Need to see how to go about that one.
