Description

Rally driving occupies a unique place in the motorsport world. It’s fast, furious and often seems barely in control. Well, find out for yourself behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta. Discover the secrets of skid oversteer and understeer on Knockhill’s purpose-built hillside rally stage. Your experience starts with a briefing on technique and safety before you receive some one-to-one tuition on how to drive sideways. Learn some brand new driving skills including over-steer, weight transfer and handbrake turns. You’ll be marked on your driving skills on a final stage assessment, before a white-knuckle high-speed demo run by your instructor as a finale. There’s a trophy for the best driver of the day and everyone receives a certificate.
