Driving a Rally Car is one of the most exhilarating motor experiences available and requires a unique set of driving skills, including handbrake turns, power slides and wheel spins just for starters. Behind the wheel of a 4 wheel drive Subaru Impreza, amongst others, you will feel the immense power and acceleration of these finely tuned Japanese machines. You will learn to tame these beasts by mastering how to escape under-steer and utilize over-steer. With a Pro- Rally-Driver instructor next to you, you can head out to the special stage and test your skills under rally conditions, in a time trial competition! Because it challenges on-road driving's principles so well, we highly recommend Rally Driving to all ages and skill levels!
