THE CENTRE FOR ROAD CONTROL IN NIVELLES

A unique Infrastructure

Strengthened by his working experience on different European sites, Pierre LAOUREUX imagined, conceived and designed the track of the Centre for Road Control in Nivelles. This site that is unique in Belgium by its size as well as its equipment was made thanks to a creative synergy with PEUGEOT :
10 hectares, 7 exercise areas that can function simultaneously and that offer eight different grip levels, 5 braking tracks, tracks with all kinds of bends, the best part of which can be sprinkled thanks to a very elaborated underground system (three million litres of water are ready to wet the track by means of more than 350 jets).

In a few seconds, the instructors can change the grip level and reproduce all weather conditions that a road user could encounter, from a dry road to black ice without forgetting wet roads or aquaplaning.

Even when it’s raining, the instructors can awaken the participants to the difference in grip between a dry and a wet road thanks to the different grip levels of the several road surfaces that make up the Centre for Road Control.

Unpredictable walls of water

The Centre for Road Control in Nivelles also has water walls that will randomly pop up in front of you, it’s up to you to avoid them.

This exercise really adheres to reality because the student doesn’t know on which side the obstacle will occur. Spectacular and effective, this equipment enables us to vary multiple types of exercises that the student can try, if he wishes, to reproduce at the end of the session at the wheel of his own car, without any risk of damaging it with pylons or foam blocks.
