Subaru remains so intrinsically linked with the World Rally Championship more than any other marque. And those with a desire to follow in the footsteps of a McRae, Solberg or Block will be revved up for our most intensive Subaru rally driving package yet. Hosted on the dirt rally stage at Bovingdon Airfield in Hertfordshire, this incredible competition style experience will give you more time learning how to perfect rally techniques and getting acquainted with the four-wheel drive Impreza's handling capabilities. Your co-driver will be teaching you how to tackle a range of corners against some challenging gradients, pitching the car sideways through chicanes and powersliding over long, sweeping bends. For the last 2 laps of the experience, you'll be in timed competition mode, with your aim to launch the perfect standing start to see if you can top the leaderboard!
