A bit like a wine tasting in concept! Drive a Rally Car and let us unlock some of the secrets of Professional Rally Driving Techniques. Taste for yourself why Rally Drivers get so addicted to this extreme sport.
Your Turbo or V8 experience begins with a welcome and intro briefing into the world of Rally Driving. We include some of the basic rally driving techniques that will not only help keep you safe, but most of all to coach you into achieving the most from your time behind the wheel. But we cannot teach you all of it in the classroom.
Our professional instructors are with you in the car to coach you the whole way, building your speed and confidence lap after lap. To answer the number 1 question, yes, you can choose which car you drive , or, if you like, just leave it all to us!
You will drive one of our V8 Brute Rally Utes for a 8 lap power trip experience on tarmac. Drive either our Holden Commodore Ute or Ford Falcon Ute (subject to availability). To top it off you will receive a 'Hot Lap' with one of our professionals driving...hang on!
Like the free fall in sky diving (although this lasts longer), it will leave a permanent, indelible memory, for life. If you like the taste of rallying you can book yourself into a Half Day or Full Day course in our Australian Rally Championship 4WD Turbos.
