I try this with every car I get. I don't think most people really understand their new car until this is done. I definitely don't want to learn the limits of my driving skill in a car in inclement weather on public roads. |
Took the V8V out to the track
I understand wanting to learn the limits of the car on the track. I'm not sure how it would help much on public roads though. There shouldn't be any situation where you even approach the limits of the car when street driving.

So you have never had to brake hard to miss an animal running out in front of you. You never brakes hard or swerved after another car in front did. Have you ever hit something slick and needed to regain control of your car? The track can teach you all of these things in a safe environment. It does not mean you speed in the road and apex over the yellow line. Knowing the limits are important because you never know what may come at you in any car.

Lessons learned from track driving have a nearly direct translation to winter driving, although at much lower speeds.
