What is Rally Driving for Kids?
Rally driving isn’t just for adults—kids can join the action with our range of junior rally driving experiences! Designed for young drivers, these thrilling sessions begin with a safety briefing to ensure they’re fully prepared before heading out for an unforgettable drive. Depending on the chosen package, kids will learn skills like mastering handbrake turns and power slides, enjoy driving on a gravel rally stage, and even have the option of an exhilarating high speed passenger ride if they feel extra adventurous.
Rally driving isn’t just about fun; it also helps young drivers develop valuable skills, such as stopping safely under pressure, tackling challenging terrains, honing car control and precision, and making quick decisions—lessons that can benefit them later in life. It’s never too early for them to start learning useful driving habits.
At the world renowned Silverstone Rally School, kids can choose from 30, 60, or 90 minute sessions led by expert instructors. They’ll gain hands on experience in dual controlled FWD Nissan Micras, culminating in three laps around Silverstone’s authentic gravel rally stage. For those looking for a comprehensive introduction, the Silver and Gold Junior Rally Experiences are excellent options.
Cotswold Off Road & Rally Centre is ideal for 10–16 year olds, as this centre offers a safe and controlled environment to learn rally techniques. Young drivers start with basic skills like steering and braking on loose surfaces before progressing to advanced rally techniques.
There is also Honeybourne Airfield, Worcestershire for kids aged 8–15, this venue provides a fantastic six lap rally experience in a Mini Cooper S. It’s an excellent way for younger drivers to get started, with no prior experience needed.

How Rally Driving for Kids Works
Curious to know how a youngster without a licence can drive a rally car all to themselves? As long as they meet the minimum height requirement to reach the pedals and the age for the package, they are all good to go, without a licence needed. This is because they will be paired with an instructor throughout the experience, and usually in a car equipped with dual controls - so there’s no need to panic!
Each experience will be tailored to the person and how much driving they have done. Whether they have been on a junior driving experience before, or this is their first time, instructors will tailor each session to their ability. It’s a common misunderstanding that you need a driving licence and to be over 17 to go on a driving experience, but the opposite is true. Being away from public roads and under the constant guidance of an expert, even youngsters can have a fun time driving, as well as get some experience under their belt.
Typically, each session will begin with a thorough safety briefing and overview of the controls, before they take a seat behind the wheel and begin their experience. It really is that easy! If you know a youngster who is car obsessed, gifting them one of our kids rally experiences will undoubtedly make their day, or even their year.
