Skid Monster Team Challenge App defines the gate a team member is to drive through for best time while demonstrating habits of Zone Control Strategies being correctly performed. Teams are comprised of two family members: a parent and a teen; two adults; or two siblings. Or, two high school or college classmates. The team members help one another practice and cultivate Zone Control Strategies into habits. Teams learn Zone Control Strategies from Professor Mottola’s Driving MIND eCoach to control the vehicle’s path of travel and speed control for all situations. Then, the Strategies are demonstrated as they drive the Skid Monster to make the best times around the course.
