Audi Winter Driving School
February 19th 2006

Audi Club North America Canada Chapter members are invited to the first Audi Winter Driving School in Eastern Canada. The School will be held on February 19th at the M?caglisse facility in Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, about an hour and a quarter north of Montreal, near St. Donat.

Several Audi certified instructors along with the chief instructor at the M?caglisse facility will guide participants safely through a series of exercises on the specially prepared ice driving courses at M?caglisse.

The day will begin with a classroom presentation of the theory of driving on ice in the M?caglisse chalet. Participants will learn the meaning of under-steer and over-steer as well as steer and counter-steer. In addition, the instructor will explain the counter intuitive moves that will allow drivers to master the ice. And everybody will learn to enjoy slip-sliding in a slow motion 4 wheeled dance!

On the skid pad, a 200 foot circle of ice, participants will learn to recognize and master under-steer and over-steer.

The slalom and braking area is where drivers learn to steer and counter-steer to get around a slippery slalom course marked with rubber cones and to brake at the limit under full control.

Drivers get to put all their lessons to good use on a specially designed course, with level changes and a variety of turns.

At noon, a hot lunch will be served around the fireplace in the wood finished chalet with a 180 degree view of the M?caglisse exercise areas.

Participants will become better and safer winter drivers and they will leave with a better appreciation of their all wheel drive Quattros.

We can only accommodate 30 participants so please register early by going to the ACNA Canada Chapter website at: www.audiclubna.org/chapters/canada and mailing in the registration form with your check. The cost is $195.00 per participant, with lunch and taxes included.
