Twofold teambuilding on the skidpan
Organisations in search of an innovative approach to corporate team building, should add skidpan teambuilding to their list of options. A skidpan experience offers a unique opportunity to combine workplace collaboration with essential safe driving skills.
The CEO of a driver training organisation, Eugene Herbert, says teambuilding on the skidpan turns traditional vehicle control training into an engaging group experience.
“It delivers both immediate entertainment value along with long-term practical benefits."
“Skidpan training allows corporate teams to gain meaningful skills that extend beyond conventional conference room exercises. In a controlled skidpan environment, one experiences the thrill of vehicle dynamics while developing crucial skills that translate directly to real-world driving scenarios.”
A strong sense of camaraderie is built when team members navigate exercises on a skidpan.
"The shared experience of mastering vehicle control techniques develops bonds between colleagues while simultaneously equipping drivers with invaluable skills for emergency situations on the roads."
“The safe and controlled setting of a skidpan allows drivers to experience various vehicle dynamics that, if encountered on the road without prior experience, can be dangerous. Various exercises such as controlled braking, experiencing under and oversteering, and recovery techniques build both individual competence and group cohesion.”
“Additionally, while participants enjoy the adrenaline rush of the skidpan, they simultaneously develop confidence and competence they can transfer to the road as well. They are equipped with skills to handle challenging road conditions such as sudden weather changes or emergency braking,”
says Herbert.
