Introduction to Rally Driving Weekday

During this full day experience you will get to drive the awesome Ford Escort RS2000 which dominated the world of competitive rallying in the late 70's and early 80's and is considered one of the great cars in the sports history. Rally driving is one of the most exciting sports in the world and Extreme Element are delighted to give you a chance to have a go. Usually reserved for those with a large bank balance rally driving is one of the ultimate high adrenalin activities. After a chance to practice handbrake turns and powerslides in a special area you will proceed to the 'special stage' where you will put your new skills to the test. With your pro rally driver instructor as your co-driver. This full day will really give you time to get to grips with rally driving and will finish with a white knuckle ride as your instructor takes the wheel for the final run through the special stages at competition speeds!

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your day will begin with a thorough safety briefing covering all aspects of the track and the legendary rally cars you are about to drive, as well as covering the basic principals and techniques of rally driving. You will then shift over to the practice area where the instructor will teach you how to perform handbrake turns, power slides and pendulum techniques. This combines steering, braking, throttle control and car position. Then, you will then be ready to begin the serious stuff with the first of your runs through the special stages. Lunch is available to buy on the day. Then, after a nice spot of dining your afternoon session will begin, starting with car control, balance, reactions & overall ability - which will be assessed! Your day will then come to a close with a white knuckle ride as your instructor takes the wheel for the final run through the special stages at competition speeds. The day will then finish with a debrief, during which your instructor will summarise your progress and give advice on your performance. A trophy will be awarded to the driver with the best overall performance of the day, so try your best!
