Overview:
Master the art of handbrake turning around hairpin corners and pirouetting the car around 180 degrees before accelerating in the other direction. After a little practice you'll be driving like a pro and impressing the pants off your friends and colleagues. Other challenges to face:
- Practice powersliding a powerful rear-wheel drive car sideways using the power to get the back of the car sliding and the opposite lock steering to control the slide. Great fun and a fantastic way to develop exceptional car control.
Very impressive to witness once you get the hang of it!
- Experience what it's like to drive in a rally on our purpose built rally stage. A mixture of gravel and tarmac will keep you on your toes as you use front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and a four-wheel drive turbo charged Subaru Impreza WRX. The laps will be timed with a winner announced at the end of the session.
- The experience isn't over yet: the instructors will get the chance to give some of their own back as they take you on an authentic, high-speed rally ride!
Cars:
- Peugeot 106 XSi. Front-wheel drive, 1400cc 4 cyl 98 bhp. Lightweight and a very agile class winning car.
- BMW 325i. Rear-wheel drive 2500cc 6 cyl 186 bhp. Classic front engine rear-drive layout ideal for sideways rally driving, but beware: they are very 'tail happy' and you might find yourself facing the wrong way!
- Subaru Impreza WRX. Four-wheel drive, 2000cc Boxer 4 cyl Turbocharged 280 bhp. The ultimate rally machine in many people's minds. Four-wheel drive grip makes it an exceptionally good handling car, with plenty of power and that distinctive boxer engine sound. Duration:
