Amongst the many things I learnt was what would it be like to suddenly have to change lane on a motorway. How does doing this whilst emergency braking feel like. This and many things were covered. I feel the day helped me to understand more deeply the art of driving. Although I hope never to have to call on these experiences I know I am better prepared if they do occur.

I did a day like that a year or 2 ago, brilliant fun watching people with no ABS (like in a TVR) having far more of a challenge than us ABS'd equipped car drivers! It was still possible to get it wrong with ABS and collect a cone or 2 but the difference it made was astonishing.

How did this come about? Any pointers?
It's a bit off topic but I had to emergency brake recently after a truck I was about to overtake changed lanes without looking, presenting me with an alarming closing speed, and I discovered some poor behaviours like not exerting enough pedal force. I'd like to have a play with this sort of stuff in a safe environment.

It was one of many such events organised each year for members of HPC.
