Adult Half Day Rally Driving Experience | Cotswold

Overview

If you enjoy playing rally games on the computer, it's now time to put the controller down and instead get behind the wheel of a real rally car and experience the thrill of rally driving you can't get through a TV screen. This half-day rally experience will have you learning various rally techniques such as hand brake turns, power slides and more. After a driver’s safety briefing covering the basics that you'll be learning on the course, you’ll jump straight into the driver’s seat. The first two sessions are practice and tuition sessions. Here the highly experienced instructor will be teaching and encouraging you how to get the car sideways and then hitting the throttle to get the car straight again. A basic skill in rally driving and one that offers countless amounts of fun. After you have mastered the basics it’s time to put your skills to the test on two timed runs of the gravel rally course. Nerves of steel and concentration will be needed to get around the various turns to see if you can be the driver of the day! Once you have completed your timed runs, it’s time to see how the pros do it. You’ll be strapped in as a passenger and will be holding on for dear life as the instructor slides the car from one side to another. If you can still stand after the passenger ride the driver of the day will be announced and you’ll receive a copy of your timed stages and driver assessment sheet
