Rallying in Northamptonshire
Watch the dust fly as you experience the hair raising thrill of driving a Ford Focus rally car on a specially designed off-road rally stage near Corby in Northamptonshire.
After a thorough briefing covering safety, racing lines and driving techniques you will head out onto the stage where you will be strapped into the bucket seat of a feisty 150bhp front wheel drive Ford Focus, fully equipped with roll cage, dirty tyres and racing harnesses. After familiarising yourself with the stripped out interior and controls it's time to put the car through its paces and enjoy handbrake turns, power slides, wheel spins and full throttle straights.
Your instructor will help you find the quickest lines through the corners offering helpful tips and techniques to keep you heading in the right direction. Under their professional guidance you should find yourself setting ever quickening lap times as you gain confidence and push the car harder than you thought possible.
It's then time to swap seats with your instructor and hold on tight as they show you what the Focus is capable of with a skilled driver at the controls. After cooling off you will have the chance to take part in a Q+A session with your instructors who will present you with a personalised certificate to remind you of your rally experience.
