Rally driving in Worcestershire! Ex-RAF Honeybourne airfield near Evesham is the destination for your rallying experience, where the aim is to get you loving your drive in a proper rally car.
This rally day in the heart of Worcestershire is a double delight of motoring fun. In the morning you get time to get to grips with all the basic rally driver skills and in the afternoon you can have a go at linking it all together with some runs of the loose gravel rally stage.
And what car will you be rallying in? Well, it's a rear wheel drive Subaru Impreza. Yes, you read that right. The all wheel drive superhero becomes a slippery rear wheel drive beast for these experiences. And indeed, you might start a little bit on the cautious side, as you get used to the power and handling of the Impreza, but with an expert instructor at your side, confidence builds with every lap.
If you've got the knack of rallying, you'll soon be hitting that braking point sweet-spot and accelerating out of the bend at that perfect moment too. And maybe even the spectacle of getting the wheels screeching!
The in-car training is building up to a pretty neat last session in the afternoon. From a standing start, you'll do a timed lap of the circuit, complete with pace notes from your co-driver, just like a proper rally stage. By now you should be pretty familiar with the track layout, so give it your all, pushing you and the car to the limit, without skidding or spinning out to see if you'll be crowned driver of the day.
After you've completed your stints at the wheel, it's time to experience rally driving in Worcestershire as performed by your instructor. You'll be the one in the co-pilot seat this time, as you're taken on a very, very high speed passenger lap of that same circuit you've been tackling all day. And it feels ridiculously fast.
