What Can I Expect
Go on a rally driving experience in Yorkshire and you get to drive one the rear wheel drive RS2000 Ford Escort, one of the all-time classic rally cars that won every RAC Rally between 1975 and 1979.
We are offering vouchers for a taster drive, half days or full day sessions at this renowned driving centre near Seaton Ross. What we love about this Yorkshire rally driving school is that it’s minimal talking and maximum driving time.
Opting for the taster session will see you jumping into the Mark II Escort for four laps of the special taster stage, so you can have a go at the rallying basics, with the instructor teaching you. Your fourth pass on the track will be a timed one to see who will be the rally taster champion of Yorkshire.
The half day rally driving course gives you six laps around a longer special rally stage, which is a twisting circuit of mud and gravel. And go for broke on the sixth and final lap, as this one's timed.
On the full day experience, you get a lot more rallying time around this Yorkshire venue. It all starts with four laps of the taster stage, with your morning rounded off with a couple of laps on the longer stage. Your pitstop for lunch can be taken at a local pub, so you can refuel with some good Yorkshire grub (to be paid for locally), before getting back to the rallying.
The afternoon rally session will start with another three laps of that intermediate stage, before you tackle the big one for four timed laps. This extended rally special stage is the longest at this Yorkshire centre and offers all the challenges that any pro rallyer would face.
If you love rallying and want to experience it in an authentic setting, driving an all-time classic rally car, these rally diving experiences in Yorkshire are the ideal match. No lengthy classroom sessions, it's all about getting out there on the various loose gravel stages and getting on with the serious business of rallying!
