Opc. pure passion



Discover the amazing dynamics of Opel’s OPC vehicles on the OPC performance training course. It’s not just a lot of fun, it also improves your everyday driving safety. One of the highlights is driving on the 4.8-kilometer high-speed oval track at the test site. Its 40-degree banks enable speeds over 200 km/h without lateral forces.

 

Learn to pilot our vehicles quickly and securely along the ideal racing line on our own racetrack with its 16 different curve radii. Pure adrenaline! As in a motor racing event, we measure relevant data and combine it with video recordings of the driver and the track – which are available for each participant to take home.

Training units

Slalom
Left, right, left: here you can train precise driving and the clean combination of steering and throttle control. With perfect seat position and steering techniques, you learn to drive through the slalom with a steady rhythm. 
Test track Tour
Torture tracks, all kinds of surfaces, extreme rising and falling gradients – the Opel Test Center has everything you need to simulate the most extreme conditions in the life cycle of a vehicle. 
High-speed oval track
The 4.8 km high-speed banked circuit is a highlight of the test center. Its banked angle of up to 40 degrees allows speeds over 200 km/h without lateral forces.

 
Brake/dodge
Dynamic driving demands secure braking. Sometimes it is impossible to stop before the obstacle – that means skillful swerving is required! 
Handling track
Learn to pilot our vehicles quickly and securely along the ideal racing line on our own racetrack with its 16 different curve radii. We measure relevant data as for a race and combine it with video recordings of the driver and the track. 
Astra vln competition - race cars
Each participant will have the unique opportunity to pilot race car - the 320 hp Opel Astra OPC in Cup specification, which was designed for the VLN endurance racing series on the toughest circuit in the world, the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

 
Mü- with deflection
You drive through a pylon alley, with the left tires on asphalt and the right on a sliding coat (this simulates an ice track). You come to an obstacle, slowing at the same time and have to deflect. The object is to catch the tail broke out with a counter-steering action and to stabilize the vehicle.
