Comparing Rally Driving and Circuit Racing Experiences - News

Gravel, mud and asphalt are very different surfaces, which you'll quickly discover when you're enjoying Rally Driving Experience on varied terrains or experiencing the precision of circuit racing on a track. However, while the surfaces are different, controlling the car at speed stays the same.

Rallying Call

We're big fans of both rally and circuit action, and we're proud to offer you a number of opportunities to experience them. If you're searching for 'rally driving near me' then perhaps action on the gravel is where you want to start.

Rally driving is an adrenaline rush and tests the driver and machine to the limit. It also means conquering varied driving surfaces including dirt, gravel and asphalt, as well as learning how to deal with oversteer and weight transfer, and that's not even to mention handbrake turns.

Given such challenges, it's no surprise that rallying provides a white-knuckle thrill unlike any other. The levels of commitment and split-second timing, coupled with twists, turns and undulations, will leave you breathless and exhilarated.

Meanwhile, driving on a loose surface will often mean you're looking out of the side window as much as the front window, and there's also the possibility of handling different styles of power including front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.

It's clear to see that rallying is a fun, exciting and unforgettable experience, and with Trackdays, there's never a rally car experience that far away.

Back to Track

Driving on a single surface around a specially designed race circuit requires the utmost precision.

Indeed, perfecting the racing line is the ultimate quest that needs commitment and skill. And while the surface is smoother than gravel or dirt, that doesn't mean the thrills are any less.

Top tips to improve your lap times include controlling your braking so it is smooth and early, while accelerating out of the turn as early as possible when it is safe to do so. Stay focused and master improving one section of the circuit at a time.

Practice also makes perfect, so it's only natural that the more track time you have, then the more confident you'll become (but who's arguing against spending as much time as possible putting pedal to the metal around famous circuits including Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Knockhill).

Best of Both

Thanks to TrackDays.co.uk you can experience both rally experience days and circuit action with a Supercar Experience, even on the same day. Start the fun behind the wheel of an Italian thoroughbred, such as a Ferrari or Lamborghini, or perhaps another supercar of your choice, then catch your breath and finish the excitement skidding around a rally course.

Whether you're going for gravel or aiming for asphalt, let us be your driving companion. For over 20 years, Trackdays has been growing to solidify our reputation as the number one choice in the track days and driving experiences market, and that's not to mention our varied selection of experience days and gift experiences.
