Mercedes Benz Driving Experience - Active Safety Driving

9th nov, sunday.

i woke up exceptionally early today because i need to be at sepang international circuit by 730am because mercedes benz malaysia is having this active safety driving courses. i'm in the participant list but because i'm marketing executive, so i've to do both the registration for customer plus attending the program.

customer's cars

more customer's cars

breakfast start around 830, but i didn't have much time to enjoy my breakfast because i'm busy with attendance list. managed to grab afew things to eat while the briefing is going on. breakfast is catered by hilton hotel, so quality of food is good.

briefing on cars safety features

view from paddock.

after the briefing, practise session begin. there are total of 8 different practise for the day, and there'll be 4 teams in total. so morning session there are 4 practise, and after lunch there'll be another 4. every practise area had a ice box with plenty of mineral water and canned drink inside, and the mineral water are evian mineral water. deng. like super expesive wei. my arms turned slightly toasted after the whole program because the weather is too hot =.=''

pitlane.

lunch is served around 1pm. same like breakfast, is catered by hilton hotel. the quality of food is better than most hotel buffet. got lamb, cod fish, grilled chicken, dessert, and even sashimi. i didn't eat alot, just enough to filled my stomach because i worried that the coming practise would involve spinning around. and true to my prediction, there is one.

fruits, cake and dessert.

mushroom soup with bread

roasted lamb and grilled chicken. both tastes excellent.

fried cod fish

salad and sashimi

i like the dessert in cup

drink plenty of water to avoid heat stroke

queuing up to do spinning practise

fleet of cars for practise that day

instructors from australia giving briefing on track lapping

most fun practise of the day - track lapping session

the last session was track lapping session where you basically just drive around the track fast. haha. i think this is the most fun session of the day, because you get to drive fast, but those driving instructoras are even faster. and they're only using the b class, while we're all in e class. talk about skills and balls. haha.

exit from paddock area

hopefully, i'll still in the company when the next active safety driving program comes. overall, it was great fun, something to remember.
