The Silverstone 4x4 Off Road Challenge and Half Day Rally - a unique and unrivalled driving experience that will challenge and excite throughout. You'll take part in two separate sessions, starting with the first session, offering an introduction to rally driving, where you'll focus on power slides, hand brake turns and other rally driving techniques. In your second session, you'll be going off road, starting with a safety briefing before strapping in taking control of your 4x4. With four wheel drive selected, you'll make your way to the first of three interlinking challenge areas. During your time behind the wheel, you'll be accompanied by an expert instructor who'll be giving you coaching and guidance as you attempt all three varying challenges.
