Description

Take the wheel of one of the world’s most celebrated rally cars at the Bill Gwynne Rally School. This turbo-charged 4WD beast is just perfect for handling challenging gravelly terrain and sharp corners. Kick off with a full safety briefing and learn about rally driving fundamentals such as skid control, powerslides and handbrake turns on a purpose-built rally stage. Receive two demo laps to get acquainted with the rally stage before jumping into the driving seat of the Subaru Impreza for six high-octane driving sessions and tear around over 800 corners including handbrake turns to slid and skid around. This driving experience concludes with lunch and a certificate presentation.
