Guys,

We've organised a Rally Driving Half Day on Sunday 7th November. The location will be Silverstone Autosport and Rally School. No club membership is necessary. The discounted rate will be £125 each which is very good value. Please PM me if you'd like to come, there are only 18 spaces and I will need a 50% deposit.

We will be driving Mk2 Ford Escort rally cars, the full itinery is below.

11am Start to the day
Introduction to the day’s instructors, informal lecture on the basic principles of rally driving techniques and car control delivered by our qualified instructors in our purpose built training room.

Practice 1
Power sliding, after a short demonstration by your instructor, each delegate will in turn take the driving seat and practice the basic “sideways” control using manoeuvres that co-ordinate power and steering balance.

Hot Seat Ride
Change seats and allow your instructor to demonstrate the rally techniques at authentic speeds, prepare to be "wowed".

Practice 2
Handbrake turns, again following a short demonstration, each pupil practices handbrake turns, hard cornering and car positioning techniques through a sequence of tight corners on our special stage.

Practice 3
Another driving session where the two techniques above are combined and reinforced with surprising results!!

Full Circuit
Drive the full loose surface rally special stage with your instructor talking you through from the co-drivers seat or a "Hot Seat Ride"-

Debrief- the instructor summarises the morning activities giving advice and distributing the rally school certificates.

but be warned you are likely to have the pi55 taken out of you big time at the debriefing. it was my efforts that coursed this....

Bother - missed it!

Could we have used our own cars?

Thanks to all 18 people who attended, this was a brilliant day! Had a further 10 on the waiting list, so will need to organise something a little bigger next time.

Nope we could not bring our own cars, although I'm sure that could be arranged in future. We used their Mk2 Escort RS2000 cars which were truly superb.
