Description

Stafford Activity Centre is the perfect place to learn some of the different driving techniques required to become a success in a rally scenario. Drive on tarmac for over six miles in either a Subaru Impreza Sti or Ford Focus RS – both armed with stunning power and featuring surprisingly good agility around bends. Then pit your wits on a rally stage, doing handbrake turns in a Clio and see how the different drives compare. Receive a high-speed passenger ride and if you bring along a guest, they get to enjoy a free 4×4 off road passenger ride.

Availability: Runs around four times a month, and can be on a Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday or Thursday. The circuit is closed from early December to mid-January. Weather: Driving might be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow, ice, heavy rain or high winds) which would make driving at speed dangerous. Please call the venue Monday – Friday (if in any doubt). Duration: Expect to be around an hour at the venue. Please be aware that sessions start from 8am and sessions booked between 11am – 3pm incur a £10 charge. Please arrive a few minutes early to ensure a prompt start. Numbers On Day: All in-car tuition is on a one-to-one basis. Briefings are held in groups of up to 30 people. There might be other vehicles on the track at the same time as you. Spectators: Spectators are welcome and each one is entitled to a free 4×4 off road passenger ride. Other extra (chargable) drives and passenger rides are available on the day subject to availability.
