Junior Rally Driving

Junior Rally Driving

Develop your driving skills and get behind the wheel of a rally car, before tackling a demanding combination surface rally stage. This experience offers your youngsters the opportunity to learn the basics at a young age and give them a taste of how to control a car. The methods and techniques are at the opposite end of the spectrum to road driving, but giving them the chance to take control early develops vital hand eye coordination and sets them on the road to be the next Lewis Hamilton.

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your experience will begin with a safety briefing covering the cars, the techniques and the track upon which you will be driving. You will then drive a BR Racing RST Rally Academy training car, learning clutch control, steering and braking. Once you are comfortable with basic car controls, you'll be shown how to develop your newly acquired skills, ready to hit the track. You will then take the RST on a tarmac surface test stage with an instructor by your side, calling the corners as you power your way round. Your experience will come to a halt with a de-brief and certificate presentation. Parents are encouraged to take part in the 'Parent Challenge', details of which will be explained on the day, subject to time.
