“Brilliant day out”
I was bought the half day rally course for my 40th birthday and it was brilliant. The instructors were top class, really knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole experience perfect. No sitting around in a classroom for ages, straight into the fun more or less. The old Ford Escorts were fantastic, just need to buy a rear wheel drive car now :)
What's Included
- Safety briefing and initial group instruction
- Training from a qualified instructor and hands-on driving in a specially prepared rally car
- Experience gift pack including personalised voucher and message card
What happens on the day?
On arrival you will normally be asked to sign an indemnity form which will also require parental/guardian signature for under 18's. Your training session will usually be shared with other drivers. The course will start with a classroom briefing on the different techniques required to master the art of Rally Driving. This will cover correct braking and gear change methods, handling techniques and more.
Then, it’s straight out on the stage and into the driver’s seat of a purpose built, fully prepared rally car. Rallying requires focus, true determination and complete car control and with your instructor by your side to guide you round the stage, you’ll soon be tackling the techniques like a pro.The fully qualified instructors will put you at ease as you learn the different techniques over the loose or tarmac surfaces. Rally cars and course surfaces vary depending on location.

Fantastic experience plenty of driving great fun, all instructors really friendly and made the day
“AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT TIME”
I had this experience bought for me as a birthday gift, taken a bit later than planned due to lockdown! The guy who took me round was really, really supportive and encouraging, taking time to explain what I needed to do to really get the most out if the car! I was lucky in that I was able to drive both the Escort RS and a Subaru Impreza, such different drives but both exhilarating in their own way! Would definitely recommend this experience! It is GREAT FUN!
