What's included?

Eight lap rally driving experience with one hot lap
30 minute safety briefing
All safety equipment

Have you ever dreamed of getting behind the wheel of a real Australian Championship rally car? This is not TV, it's for real. Racing seats and harness, Turbo 4WD, huge roll cage and the best suspension set up money can buy. Your experience begins with an introduction to the team, find out who is who, then get a briefing on driving safety, the cars and how to get the best out of the experience. Choose your car (if you want, or we can choose for you). We have over 15 Subaru and Mitsubishi turbo rally cars, you can select your favourite model.

After the briefing, we find you a helmet then over to the cars, and it's time to get dirty. A familiarisation lap is always a good idea, and your instructor is with you pointing out the braking and gear change points, he is there to coach you in the best way to drive these cars fast and in control. Be surprised by the grip available, even on the dirt. Challenge yourself, control your slides, and maximise your speed down the next straight.
