Matryoshka on ice

Gas in the floor! Gas in the floor! - The team of Oleg Kesselman - All slept, brake. " Together with the Mazda Sport Academy we tamed Mazda 3 on ice Tushino airfield and learned to act in advance. Since then, in the winter session mazdovskoy academy sports driving involving new treshki. Classes are held on the hatchback with a two-liter gasoline engine and automatic transmission. Compared with front-wheel drive Mazda3 CX7 crossover control on slippery surfaces more complicated. The driver requires special skills of driving and gas. They honed through two exercises. The first - to drive the car to understeer. This is a common snake, where the cones are lined up, and ee are on a normal car, wrapped in studded tires. Stabilization system according to tradition is disabled. This, according to the instruction executed the famous racer Oleg Kesselman and teaches driver's hope for our own forces, rather than electronics. Yes, and not the fact that the electronic assistant will behave correctly in emergency situations. Y Mazda3 ESP made completely disconnected. But with training CX7 had to tinker. Stabilization of crossovers still managed to deactivate, but with her gone, and ABS, complain instructors. To succeed in both snakes must first learn to act in advance. After the car on the ice reacts to driver input with a delay. Still, it is advised instructors to feel the balance of the car: gas discharge - front axle load, the addition of - posterior. And in any case not twist the steering wheel. Resetting the gas, turn bagels at a small angle. Machine reluctantly begins to float in the rotation. Put the wheel exactly, you should not keep them recurving too long, and very gradually add the gas to avoid disruption in probkusovku. After a couple of laps you start to feel the rhythm of the rebuild and stop being afraid of delays machines. The second exercise will teach controlled with front wheel drive car with oversteer - a combination of extremely dangerous. It is performed on machines with a "tainted" the rear suspension - angles of the GEARS violated, and they are shod with summer tires overinflated. In addition, cones are placed not in the line, and strongly biased to increase the steepness of the turn. As a result, the car starts to actively revenge tail and cope with it can only follow the commands of an experienced instructor. Line help with self-centering steering wheel in the direction of the skid, not strong enough stomped on the gas pedal and the car full turn, testing the possibility of vestibular apparatus of passengers. The most difficult thing - to overcome the psychological barrier. When you try to drift stern exist yet more dovernut wheel into the turn, and need to rotate it in the direction of the skid. Yes, and dramatically add gas, instead of pressure on the brake, some participants had to make quite difficult. All these tricks are needed to simulate a situation in which a car with a working suspension and winter tires falls into a skid. Only the speed he has at the same time must be much as 100 km / h. In the educational version, and the rate is less and the driver more time to react. Yes, and if an error is not so catastrophic consequences - the car stick to the soft snow, where it rescues by technicals - pickups BT-50. Obtained in the exercises the skills we hone in on a winding racetrack. To say the winding. It was one of the only straight and as many as four lamps. By the end of the training track will roll out and everything turned out more cars in the arms of a snowdrift. Total winter training course takes five hours from the hour allocated for instruction, and the rest - in practice. Small, but, according to academics mazdovskih-optimists in this time is quite realistic to instill driver skills of driving in an emergency. Nevertheless, besieged by those wishing to enter in the Mazda Sport Academy-led famous racers, Boris and Oleg Shulmeysterom Kesselmanom, no. And all the winter course is already fully painted, despite the rather severe cost of tuition - about 7000 rubles.
