HART is the Honda Advanced Roadcraft Training organisation is Australia.

I did the Risk Reduction (I guess that's the politically correct term for Advanced Driving) course on the weekend with the Honda Sports Car Club of NSW.


That's my Silver/Red S on the left.

I'll put up a whole bunch of MPEG's of slalom, skid pan, and track stuff shortly

Cool pics! How come Integras don't have to have those little windshield washers down there in Australia?

All of us should have to take this class. If it saves one person from losing control, skidding 720 degrees and slamming into a wall because their 12,000-mile bald rear tires lost grip in a 15 mph lazy right-hand turn on pristine concrete, I'll be sound as a pound!

We all had a blast. Myself and the owner of the black S were very keen on the skid pan tests as you will note from the MPEGs.

As much as you'll here talk about losing the rear on the S it is extremely easy to handle if you know what you are doing. We'd force the rear out on the first corner then play the accelerator to keep it out, or bring it back in gently.

I'd strongly recommend that everyone does this, or a similar course, put yourself into a few precarious situations, and get used to them, all whilst in a safe environment.

Oh, and it was a sh!t load of fun
