Sport training

Pure passion pure performance

Push it to the limit with Opel’s OPC and GSi models.

 

Three-tier program: From basic training to performance level on the racetrack.

 

The Opel Experience sport trainings created by motor sport experts are made for drivers who love a challenge. High-level performance and handling make the OPC and GSi models stand out – test the abilities of these cars to the max on the legendary Nordschleife, renowned for pushing test cars to their limits to bring them up to motorsport standard.

 

Driving a car is more than simply using the throttle, brakes and steering wheel – it’s about performance in relation to driving physics, dynamics and the feeling of exploring the car’s limits. Under the guidance of real motorsport professionals, the three different sport trainings aim to improve the driver’s abilities step-by-step. This training is as fun as it is educational, ensuring maximum safety even when feeling the performance dynamics of our cars.
