The Experience
Get ready to unleash your inner rally driver with the Rally Driving Experience in Northern Ireland.
This unforgettable adventure puts you behind the wheel on one of the region’s top rally tracks, giving you the opportunity to learn from expert instructors while enjoying the rush of high-speed driving.
Your day begins with a detailed safety briefing, where you’ll be introduced to car handling techniques and the technical aspects of rally driving. Once prepared, you’ll take control for two thrilling stages. First, you’ll drive a front wheel drive rally car, mastering precision and control. Then, switch to a rear wheel drive car such as the Ford Focus or the iconic MII Escort RS2000 to experience the raw, sideways style that rallying is famous for.
When your stages are complete, it’s time to switch seats and see the track from a new perspective. Your instructor will take you on a high-speed demonstration run, showcasing the true capability of these powerful machines. To finish, you’ll take part in a debriefing session with a written analysis of your performance, plus a certificate to commemorate your achievement.
Your Rally Driving Experience includes:
- Safety briefing on handling and rally techniques
- Two driving stages: one in a front wheel drive car and one in a rear wheel drive car
- High-speed demonstration run with a professional instructor
- Debrief with written driving analysis and certificate
