Description

Few things get the adrenaline pumping like racing a rally car round an authentic rally track. And this all day rally driving experience at Westbury, Northamptonshire does just that. After a safety briefing, get behind the wheel of two different cars over six driving sessions to fully experience the controlled chaos of racing a rally car. A professional driving instructor is on hand with tips and advice, and will help you learn handbrake turns, power slides and even skid control. Race the front-wheel drive Nissan Micra, and the rear-wheel drive Ford Escort Mk2, to experience how both of these systems handle the rally stage’s loose-surface terrain. This rally driving experience is essential for any driving enthusiast.
