Silverstone Rally Solo

Silverstone Rally Solo

Silverstone Rally School has been established for over 25 years and has earned a fantastic reputation for its authentic loose gravel surface and high quality instruction. The Rally Solo is the ideal introduction to Rally driving for many different levels and abilities as the instructor will simply tailor your experience to your driving standard. With this Rally Solo experience you will receive half an hour of classroom tuition before buckling up in the car for one solid hour of one-to-one tuition with a professional driver. You will be driving the Ford Escort MK2 - voted the world's greatest rally car (by the British Rally Forum 2006) with an expert instructor at your side, you can expert to learn some serious skills to improve your driving, as well as having a truly excellent driving experience.

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your day will begin with a cup of coffee and an informal meeting with your instructor for the day. Here you will discuss the safety regulations and the principles of Rally techniques and car control. Your objectives for the experience will be set and discussed here, based on your previous experience. (Don't worry if you've never driven a Rally Car before, the instructor will tailor the experience to your requirements). Then it's time get your gear on and get out on the track! The instructor will take you around the stage, demonstrating the techniques of Rally driving, including power sliding, handbrake turns and pendulum slides. Then, it's over to you to begin practicing these new found techniques on the authentic gravel Rally stage, through a sequence of tight corners and sweeping bends. Then to finish this superb Rally driving experience, you'll be treated to a 'hot seat ride' - where the instructor will demonstrate the true power of the Ford escort MK2. This will be followed by a discussion of your progress with relation to your objectives before you are awarded with your 'Rally Solo' certificate.
