Young rally enthusiasts aged 8 - 17 won't believe their luck, as they get the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a model synonymous with the iconic heritage of the World Rally Championship - the Subaru Impreza - on this unique Junior Rally Dirt experience. Hosted on the custom built rally dirt stage at our Hertfordshire venue, this incredible package starts with a 30 minute introductory classroom briefing with a qualified instructor, who will then accompany them for 4 sighting laps in the four-wheel-drive Impreza on the dirt stage. With that complete, they'll then take the wheel themselves for 8 driving laps around the rally stage in the Impreza, with the instructor acting as the co-driver navigating the route up to 40mph, as well as offering tuition on how to power slide out of corners as well as achieve the famous 'Scandinavian flick' to pitch the rally car into a corner. Fast, furious and messy, this junior rally experience offers thrills aplenty!
