It was an experience that lasted 2 days with my colleague <a href=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/en\/author\/mkoopmann\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Koopmann<\/a>. First of all, I had the chance to spend the first day at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esterel.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Est\u00e9rel Resort<\/a>, including a dinner with about thirty different participants. The latter, media guests, came from all over the world; Brazil, Mexico, China, Toronto and Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day, starting at 8&nbsp;a.m., we were treated to an information session on what the Experience program is, there are, moreover, in different seasons and in different places in the world, as I told you earlier. In addition to the program, it was mainly about what we were going to implement during the day. From small details to practicality in the car, everything is important, especially when driving a car with more than 440 horsepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the theoretical part that takes place at the hotel, the subjects that are covered are the correct position of the seat, the effects of the laws of physics on the vehicle and, of course, the correct position of the steering wheel. These theories may seem trivial to reading, but when you find yourself behind the wheel doing controlled skids, these are crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-37745\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Bus.jpg\" alt=\"Porsche-Ice-Experience-Bus\" class=\"wp-image-37745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Bus.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Bus-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Bus-416x277.jpg 416w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Bus-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Arctic Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the theoretical part, it\u2019s towards the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecaglisse.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">M\u00e9caglisse<\/a> circuit at Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, about a 30-minute drive from the hotel, all with the Porsche Ice Experience bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Welcome to M\u00e9caglisse, where the Porsche Ice Experience is happening in Qu\u00e9bec<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-37750\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants.jpg\" alt=\"Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants\" class=\"wp-image-37750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants-416x277.jpg 416w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Arctic Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 30 minutes of driving, we finally arrive at the circuit where I will have the chance to drive the models of Porsche 911\u2013992 Carerra S and Carrera&nbsp;4S. Before driving, we join our different teams&nbsp;and the professional pilots who will be the ones who will lead us during the different exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &nbsp;slalom<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-37751\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911.jpg\" alt=\"Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911\" class=\"wp-image-37751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911-416x277.jpg 416w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-The-Yellow-911-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Arctic Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We start with the slalom, I say to us, because we are in a group and two by car. While it sounds easy, on the contrary, you really have to do acceleration and braking. I was lucky to get on board with Ben Cooper, the English karting champion, and I must tell you that his driving was much more intense than mine. He didn\u2019t skimp on pressing the brake and gas pedals to make the car rotate perfectly. I tried to replicate its movements later in the Carrera&nbsp;4S, a 4-wheel drive car. The yellow car in the cover photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understeer &amp; oversteer<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-37748\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-drift.jpg\" alt=\"Porsche-Ice-Experience-drift\" class=\"wp-image-37748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-drift.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-drift-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-drift-416x277.jpg 416w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-drift-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Arctic Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thereafter, for the second exercise, it was the understeer and oversteer techniques, which often lead to \u201cdrifting. \u201cWe do what we call\u201d power slide, \u201cwhich is a phase of drifting, it generally begins in the bend from the moment the glide runs out and where acceleration becomes necessary to pursue it. The car is accelerated from this point until the end of the curve. This technique is generally used by very powerful all-wheel drive cars, which we had for the morning phase. It was really, fun, and trying to understand everything about the different components of the vehicle. It is not at all obvious, but when we arrive, it is a joy. And it is often thanks to the advice of professional pilots that we get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then it\u2019s dinner break. A nice break to relax and chat with the other participants. It\u2019s still a very intense 24 hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After dinner and a good Nespresso coffee, sponsor of the program, we changed cars to go to the Carrera S, a powered model and not 4WD like the previous one, I also preferred the latter to the 4&nbsp;S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &nbsp;racetrack<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-37741\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-911-Carrera-4S.jpg\" alt=\"Porsche-Ice-Experience-911-Carrera-4S\" class=\"wp-image-37741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-911-Carrera-4S.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-911-Carrera-4S-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-911-Carrera-4S-416x277.jpg 416w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-911-Carrera-4S-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Arctic Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to put into practice the different techniques learned in the morning, we go on a closed circuit with all kinds of obstacles. Whether it\u2019s slalom, braking, uphill and downhill, steering techniques, vehicle stabilization and load transfer with winter tires. A really interesting practice, I loved this part and it was really closer to real situations on the road. As there were several of us on the road, we had to be careful and be attentive to the various slippages of the others, using the unidirectional walkie-talkie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carefully Accelerating Out of a Bend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last test of the day was to control the acceleration. After all this intense driving, the last test was less obvious. Especially when we are told not to brake or accelerate, but to let the car go. It\u2019s not always easy, especially when it\u2019s a Porsche&nbsp;911 that doesn\u2019t belong to us, we are always a little more careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The return<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-37750\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants.jpg\" alt=\"Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants\" class=\"wp-image-37750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants-416x277.jpg 416w, https:\/\/gentologie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Porsche-Ice-Experience-Participants-128x86.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Arctic Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last test of the day was to control the acceleration.
