On arrival, participants register and help themselves to refreshments from our hospitality truck. There is short safety briefing, then the participants are divided into groups of four who then share the same instructor and car throughout the course. All tuition takes place in the car.
The participant sits behind the wheel and the instructor sits in the passenger seat which is fitted with dual brakes. They both have intercoms in their helmets which enables the instructor to teach the participant the necessary skills required. The experience is similar to a driving lesson, but much is more fun!!

How Long:
On half day course we provide 3 sessions of 15 minutes in car.
When:
The morning course is held between 9.15am and 12.30pm and the afternoon course is held between 1.30pm and 5.00pm.
Restrictions:
It is the height/weight ratio which is important. For instance, a participant who is tall at 6’ 3” and of medium build for their height will fit in car. Also a participant who is small in height but of big build will also fit in car. A problem can arise when the participant is very tall (over 6’ 3”) and of big build.
Spectators:
Spectators are welcome. All our locations are natural rallying environments, therefore spectators are not cordoned off. For this reason and for safety purposes we cannot accommodate spectators under the age of 10 years (with exception to babies who are restrained in a pushchair or pram).

Half day spectator-£ 5.00.

Full day spectator-£ 10.00.
