Presenting a rally driving experience that really will take a leap of faith! The Dakar Rally Jump and Dirt package, hosted exclusively at our Bovingdon Airfield venue in Hertfordshire, which will let you feel like the next step up from a World Rally Championship driver. You’ll be attempting a total of 8 laps and thus 8 tries at jumping off the Launch Pad in a Dakar Rally spec Yamaha, gradually gaining in confidence under the expert guidance of your instructor. But the action doesn’t end there, as you’ll also get to enjoy some super fast laps sliding and skidding across the dirt rally stage which you can really go full throttle on!
