Chevrolet is using a Blazer EV NASCAR prototype as a testbed for future EV development. Motorsport has long been the proving ground for performance, and now it’s shaping the next generation of electric cars. With EVs becoming more track-capable, understanding how they behave at speed, how regenerative braking affects handling, and how to adapt driving technique is becoming more relevant for track enthusiasts and test drivers alike.

When the road is wet, grip levels can change in an instant. Understanding how your car behaves when traction is lost—and how to recover it—can be the difference between control and a spin. Our Skid Control Course (Road Academy L4) gives drivers hands-on experience with reduced grip surfaces, teaching the skills needed to handle understeer, oversteer, and loss of control in wet conditions.

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems have greatly improved, but how effective are they in real-world scenarios? New research shows that modern AEB technology has significantly reduced rear-end collisions at low speeds—but what about at higher speeds and in complex conditions? As AEB systems become more advanced, driver skill and awareness remain critical in situations where technology alone isn’t enough.

As electric vehicle technology advances, real-world testing remains key to ensuring efficiency and performance. Researchers at Loughborough University are developing new testing methods to provide more accurate real-world data, helping manufacturers refine their designs. At CAT Driver Training, we work with engineers, evaluators, and testers to develop the skills needed for safe, effective vehicle testing on proving grounds. #EVTesting #AutomotiveEngineering #VehicleDynamics #ProvingGrounds #FutureMobility

As AEB technology advances, it’s easy to rely on automated systems—but driver skill still plays a critical role. Understanding braking dynamics can make the difference between a hard stop and controlled deceleration, whether on the road or test track. How do you approach braking—precision or instinct? #DriverTraining #VehicleDynamics #BrakingTechniques #AutomotiveEngineering #ADAS
