    Using this track I presume from the distance given.

    As already said MANY times, slalom doesn't test handling.
    Even auto-X doesn't really as these are setup to test the DRIVER as much as the car

    A road mirroring the real world with multiple curves, variable radius curves etc.

    in the UK the MIRA test track is superb and used sometimes for telly. it was there IIRC that Damon Hill launched a Merc over a rise and on landing the shock fired off the safety roll bar and damaged the suspension. It was the time he had the TV presenter vomiting because of the ride

    now THAT is testing to the extreme

    Don't have details for the Nardo handling track. But here's th edescription of the official MIRA one in the UK.....

    that track would not be a fun one to test drive on, however if I could, I would, if I were buying a new car.
