TEST TRACK

Prepare yourself for an exhilarating experience through GM's (General Motors) car testing facility, where your vehicle will be tested on a variety of industry standard tests such as the hill climb, suspension and brake testing, environmental conditioning and high speed acceleration.

After a quick safety briefing, you'll hop aboard your six seater test vehicle and begin the scheduled testing. First up is the hill climb, via a series of tight, hair-pin turns, then its time to test your suspension across uneven and bumpy surfaces.  Next comes the brake tests, firstly with normal brakes, then ABS brakes. The environmental chambers test your vehicle for the extremes of weather it may face, from freezing cold temperatures to very hot, as well as a corrosion test to ensure it will survive the exposure to the elements. Then you'll see what it feels like to be a crash test dummy in the 'crash' barrier test before heading outside and accelerating from 0-65mph around a looping and banking track. With all tests complete, its back to the facility for a thermal imaging scan and disembarkation, hopefully in one piece!
