MotorKlassik Classic car & Modern classic car training

Modern classic cars include all vehicles that are at an advanced age but have not yet reached the "classic car limit" of 30 years. As a rule, modern classic cars are between 20 and 30 years old. What does this mean? The electronic stability program, ESP, premiered in 1995 and has been compulsory for new vehicles since 2014 only. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) has become a standard since 2004. In short: Many modern classic cars are not yet equipped with the major assistance systems, which requires special knowledge and the full skill of the driver, especially in dangerous situations.

For this reason, the Nürburgring Driving Safety Centre, in short FSZN, offers a suitable driver safety training for all drivers of modern classic cars. In this process, you will learn relevant content that will give you more confidence and, most importantly, security. The Nürburgring Driving Safety Centre is the perfect partner to impart this knowledge. On an area of around 130,000 square metres, you will find all you need for a modern classic car driver safety training - from various open-air and training areas up to the skid plate. No worries: your beloved modern classic car won’t be damaged. This is what our driving trainers take care to ensure. Because we do not leave safety to chance.

Our driver safety training is aimed at all owners and drivers of historic vehicles that are older than 15 years but younger than 30 years. Usually, such modern classic cars are not equipped with modern assistance systems such as ESP or ABS. It is therefore advisable to prepare yourself for possible extreme situations. Only if you dispose of sufficient experience and the necessary knowledge will you react correctly to prevent accidents in a case of emergency. And it doesn't matter whether you drive an Opel Calibra or a BMW Z3 Our driving trainers will give you individual tips and advice on what to consider for your personal modern classic car.

The contents of the modern classic car trainings have been elaborated in close cooperation with driving trainers and automobile experts. It does not matter whether participants do already have previous knowledge or not. Because our employees take the necessary time for each driver to achieve the best possible learning effect. Each driver training starts with a theory briefing. This briefing not only imparts the basic rules for modern classic cars, but also provides general advice on the correct sitting position, look direction and a safe holding of the steering wheel. In the course of the day, and during various sessions on braking techniques, avoidance manoeuvres and cornering, participants get to know the vehicle's behaviour. With the support of our driving trainers, you will also learn how to take control of a skidding vehicle (without ESP). Programme modifications are reserved.
