What Can I Expect
Book in at the Silverstone rally school - the perfect place to experience the rallying spirit! We are offering half and full-day sessions for you to hone your rally driving skills at Silverstone in iconic Subarus.
The fleet of rally-specification Subaru Imprezas are maintained and prepared by the team of in-house mechanics at this Silverstone rally school.
Usually all-wheel-drive, the Subarus are set up as rear wheel drive and the body shells have been strengthened and roll cages fitted. That means you can give it your all, as you throw the car into that hair pin and get it sideways around those long, open corners.
The half-day package is hugely popular. Experiences are broken down into three driving sessions. You’ll start with training in left-hand handbrake turns and power slides. You then get to hone those techniques to the right-hand, before you head for the gravel stage like a proper rally driver for three full laps ion the final stage.
On full day experiences, you get loads of drive time to learn power sliding and handbrake turning on both left and right-handers and you'll be shown how to make pace notes (essential for any proper rally driver!). With this full-set of rally skills you'll conquer the loose gravel stage with your instructor-turned-navigator reading your own pace notes!
Rally driving at Silverstone has been happening since 1982 and the tuition is of an exceptional standard. All the instructors are Motorsport UK licensed, with plenty of rallying experience under their belts - and Silverstone Rally School is a member of the British Association of Rally Schools.
