Ok Guys,
I have been talking to the leader of the ADAC driver training center in Nord Bayern. The brand new (15 million euro) driver training test center is located in
Schlüsselfeld. That is near Würzburg on the A3 just before the A7 autobahn intersection. Its basically in the middle of Germany.

We are limited to groups of 12 students and we would use our own cars on thier test track. They have water sprinklers and simulated ice driving and even a skid pad. They also have this cool machine(?) that induces an over steering skid as you drive onto this rug-like device built into the pavement. Well... most of their centers have that machine but I will have to double check on it.
IF we have more than twelve students we could break up into two groups. IF we had less than twelve ADAC would fill the remaining spots with German students. But then the course would be taught in German.
We have the option of doing just one day of driver training or two days. Its just up to us. The school can be heldon a weekend or on a weekday. Weekdays are slightly cheaper.
ADAC could offer us an 1-day-Intenisive-Training for all kind of vehicles. They also have a trainer, who is can train up the participants in English. If we wish a 2-day-Training we could start 1st day
Intensive-Training and 2nd day
Perfektions-Training. See the ADAC web link bellow for more info. (Sorry, it's only in German).
The cost for both schools would be about 300 euros w/o tax and with the student being an ADAC member (+70 euros per year).
Nothing has been set in stone to date. I have only been talking to the Chef at the Training Center there. I am still waiting to hear back on the prices but they are in the ball park.
So... what do you guys think?
