Junior Forest Rally - Full Day

Rally Driving is one of the most exhilarating experiences of the motor world and the chance to get the adrenaline pumping and to get involved with the fast paced action is now available for juniors! Jump behind the wheel and spend a day learning the basics of driving as you race through the forest practising car control and developing technique. You will experience constant guidance and advice from the expert instructor seated next to you as you manoeuvre this powerful rally car through the 900 acres of forest! Experience a two mile and seven mile forest stage in this experience perfectly suited to the budding young driver. Please Note: An understanding of gear change and steering is required.
