What Can I Expect
Ditch the video driving games and treat them to a junior rally driving day in Gloucestershire - much more fun for them and you!
They'll get to drive a real rally car at this professional rally school for kids aged from ten years upwards. All instruction is tailored to the child, so they don't even have to have been behind the wheel of a car before in their life to enjoy this rally driving experience for kids.
Young petrolheads will be jumping up and down with joy when they see the cars used - real competition prepared Citroen C2 Rally Challenge cars with all the features of a class winning rally car, from roll cages and bucket seats to multi point harnesses and paddle gear changes - this is the real deal!
All events begin with a welcome meeting, sign on and safety briefing, each young driver will then be assessed to establish the level of their driving experience. For total beginners the session will start by learning the basics of accelerator use, braking techniques and steering on a loose surface. Depending on their progress they may then be able to progress onto more advanced techniques. Of course, if they've already got some previous driving experience under their belt, they'll be tackling more complexe moves from handbrake turns to over and understeer...
Each driver will receive 14 laps of the 0.75 mile all gravel stage making a total of around 10.5 miles of action behind the wheel. To finish off the experience, each junior driver will enjoy a high speed passenger ride where an expert instructor will demonstrate just how hard these cars can be driven.
Each young driver will then receive a personalised certificate as a memento of their rally day. For the full list of driving activities available by gift voucher please see our main driving experiences section.
