Ultimate Rally Driving experience from extreme element

The Ultimate Rally Driving gives you a chance to drive two very different types of rally car – old and new – on a variety of surfaces!

The morning begins with a thorough safety briefing and an introduction to the cars that will be making you smile all day long! Then it’s time to get suited up and take charge of the legendary Ford Escort RS2000 rally car on the gravel stage while you get to grips (sorry!) with the concept of driving on loose surfaces and learn and practice many new driving techniques! Once you’re done with the practice, it’s on to the special stages!

After lunch it’s tarmac time, as you take control of either a Mitsubishi Evo VII or a Subaru Impreza STi and experience the sheer power and incredible grip and control of these modern rally giants.

After a fun and thill-packed day behind the wheel you will receive a full de-brief on your skills and progress throughout the day! A must for the serious rallying enthusiast!
