Wide variety of high quality ride and handling tracks”
Our Ride & Handling tracks, ranging from 1,100 to 3,000 meters in length, are renowned for their high-quality snow surfaces, providing smooth and consistent conditions for efficient validation of automotive systems. All surfaces are expertly prepared and maintained to ensure repeatability and accuracy in testing.
The track topography is internationally recognised, offering configurations from tight, low-speed layouts to wide, high-speed tracks. This diversity enables comprehensive assessment of vehicle dynamics and advanced system validation.
Track Overview
Typical usage:
Chassis tuning and handling evaluation
- Vehicle behaviour when traction is limited
- Fine tuning of suspension, steering and yaw response
- Oversteer, understeer and cornering on a low mu surface
Braking systems
- Brake split between front and rear axles under low grip
- Brake feel and real-world performance
Traction and stability control systems
- Variety of applications of system tuning to ensure the vehicle remains stable and controllable during slop and loss of traction scenarios.
Powertrain and AWD/4WD system evaluation
- Power distribution to maintain control
- Tuning of vehicle systems to prevent wheel spin or yaw instability
Tyre evaluation and performance
- Traction and overall vehicle controllability
- Grip, slip angle and behaviour under low traction
