Description

A truly winning combination – the hair-raising thrill of driving a rally car, twinned with the absolute rush of being behind the wheel of an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Start the driving experience with a welcome, introduction and safety briefing. Then slide for over six miles driving a Subaru Impreza STi. With mind-blowing handling, this car is enough to satisfy any driving enthusiast. Catch your breath before going on to experience the thrill of controlling the stunning Aston Martin V8 Vantage for over six miles again. Finish up with a debriefing session, presentation of a certificate and a completed driver analysis form.
