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.

Duration

Please allow up to 4.5 hours at the venue.

Our ethos is that your 'experience' should begin from the moment you first browse the site and we can deliver this because of:

Service - Unlike other experience companies we don't just sell you a voucher and leave you to call the supplier to book yourself. We manage your entire booking process from A - Z saving you time and money on phone calls.
Knowledge - We have been a booking agent for track days and experience days since 2003 and have built trusted relationships with all of the venues and suppliers. The owner and manager of trackdays.co.uk have both been around since the first launch and their combined knowledge of the industry is passed down to all new members of staff.
Honesty - We have vetted each venue and supplier and at least one of our team will have experienced the event first hand meaning we can give you honest, non-biased advice about what you are ordering.
Contact - You are able to do your entire booking online, but if you do need to call us, our average answer time on our standard rate number is 20 seconds. Even during peak times when the phones are busier, you have the option to chat with us live online or email your enquiry.
Assurance - Once you have booked a date, we will help to ensure that you get the tickets in time for your event and will liaise with the suppliers on your behalf should you have any enquires.
Aftercare - All of our customers are invited to review our service and the service of the operator running the event. As a returning customer you will be eligable for a trackdays discount code to use on your next purchase.
