On this track, seven different types of special road surfaces allow for multiple testing possibilities.

Low Friction Area

Length: 50 m

Width: 4 m

Surface: Ceramic tiles

Adjacent surface: AC 12

Friction coefficient: 0.1

Composed of ceramic tiles artificially wet by a series of atomizing nozzles, this track can be used for acceleration tests from a standstill and low-speed braking in skid conditions to test vehicle reactions on wet surfaces.

Tire Laceration Road

Length: 650 m

Width: 4 m

Surface: Sharp stones

Stone size: 4-7 cm

The laceration track has a surface made up of large sharp stones and is designed to simulate some extreme conditions that lead to the tearing of the tires.

Rolling Track

Rollers Material: Steel

Rows of Rollers: 2

Length per row: 5 m

Two parallel rows of steel rollers mimic a surface with a low coefficient of friction, ideal for simulating driving on an icy surface.

Mud Road

Length: 450 m

Width: 4.5 m

Surface: Mud

An irrigation system creates a muddy surface where customers can perform mud contamination tests at low speed.
