Ice driving at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School | AutoblogVR

Tue, Aug 23 2016

We have two new VR episodes for you this week, both of which come from the Bridgestone Winter Driving School. In one, we get some instruction in the snow and then have a little fun sliding around. In the other, two instructors give a visual demonstration of how rear- and all-wheel-drive cars handle differently in the snow (which also includes lots of fun sliding). You get to experience it all from the passenger seat, with a view in every direction.

The Bridgestone Winter Driving School is located just outside the town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Facilities include a couple of meticulously maintained ice/snow tracks and a snow skidpad – which, it happens, is the best kind of skidpad. We worked our way up from an all-wheel-drive Lexus NX crossover to a rear-drive Lexus IS, and then the staff gave their drifty demonstration in two similar Lexus IS sedans Â– one with rear drive and the other with all-wheel drive.

There's a preview above, but for the full immersive experience, you'll need the AutoblogVR app for iOS or Android Â– you can download it for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!
