Description

Subaru’s Impreza is one of the best-loved rally cars in the sport: a turbo-charged 4WD marvel that’s just made for kicking up gravel as it slides into a bend. With 280 bhp under the bonnet, the Prodrive ‘Group N’ Subaru Impreza is perfect for learning the skills of rally driving, leaving the M25 a distant memory. After a full safety briefing, learn all about skid control, power slides and handbrake turns on a purpose-built rally stage. During two demo laps, get familiarised with the loose-surface rally stage and the Impreza. Then slide over into the driver’s seat for three hair-raising driving sessions – slip and slide your way through a series of corners and handbrake turns! The experience ends with a certificate presentation.
