Silverstone 4x4 Off Road Challenge and Half Day Rally

• Welcome and sign on

Half Day Rally Session

• Basic principles and rally driving techniques classroom session (approximately 20 minutes)
• Practice 1

Power sliding, after a short demonstration by your instructor, each pupil will, in turn, take the driving seat and practice the basic 'sideways' control using manoeuvres that co-ordinate power and steering balance.

• Practice 2

Handbrake turns, again following a short demonstration, each pupil practises handbrake turns, hard cornering and car positioning techniques through a sequence of tight corners on our special stage. 1  & 2 can be in a different order depending on which group you are driving in.  Sometimes 1 & 2 can be combined sessions.

• Practice 3

Another driving session where the two techniques above are combined and reinforced with surprising results!

Silverstone 4x4 Off Road Challenge

• Off-Road safety briefing
• Challenge 1 - The Sky View

Turn the vehicle into a mountain goat. Drive up and over tree-lined steep inclines - the only view is the sky! Check out the tilt measurement on the dash, grab a photo on your phone. Steep descents, tight turns and rugged undulating pathways await you. Balance the vehicle across a 50 meter sideways tilt - ensure you keep it straight! Sounds easy, right? Wait till you have a go! 

• Challenge 2 - The Sea Saw

Can you balance the vehicle on the sea saw, over 1 meter above the ground? How steady can you be creeping forward a millimetre at a time? Find the pivot point and balance - need to hold your breath! Drive around the rugged terrain with a few surprises to negotiate, line the vehicle up to the sea saw and have another go.

• Challenge 3 - The Troughs

Balance the vehicle through a series of differing land heights that pivot you at some incredible angles, check out the tilt degree on the dashboard.  Climb the steep hill, then descend. Be prepared for a series of inclines and descents with no room for error!

• Challenge 4 - The Bomb Holes

Entering this area you will not be able to see what awaits you. Navigate the vehicle down steep drops to the water below with a steep climb out. Tip the vehicle on the steep sides through a snake passage.

• Challenge 5 - The Slope

Navigate through the trees on a steep slope - don't look down! Then tilt on the steep banks, navigating your path on narrow undulating tracks, working your way back to the finish with feedback from your personal instructors.
