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 our 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.

My son loved the 3 Hot Lap Rally experience!

Felicity 26 September 2023

Best way to celebrate my sons 14th birthday!! The staff at Off Road Rush were amazing!

Good experience, but very short lived

Martin 24 September 2023

Overall, the experience was good. But it was not 9 laps as it mentions in the sales pitch. It was more like 8 half laps. The only full lap was the "hot lap". So really it was 4 full laps and 1 "hot lap". Maybe the title should be changed ?

Cassie

Hey Martin, thanks for your feedback. Great customer experience is incredibly important to us so we're deeply sorry to hear your experience has fallen short of expectation.

Fabulous experience!

Rebecca Papadopoulos 20 February 2022

We bought this experience for our son for Christmas and he absolutely loved it! he couldn't wipe the smile off his face. The staff were brilliant, so friendly and helpful. They made sure he was comfortable and gave us lots of photo opportunities for memory making! The drivers were wonderful and we had full confidence in their skills and safety for our son. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun experience! we will definitely be going back for more!

Great fun in the Dirt

Craig 21 June 2021

The team at Rally School wre very friendly and professional. The raaly drive was great fun with constant advice provided throughout the experience to improve your lap speed. My 8 laps were over pretty quick, but you can add 6 extra laps for a cost on the day if you feel the need. My driver for the hot lap gave it a red hot crack and made me realise how slow I had been driving.

Red hot rally racer

Danny 22 March 2020

Thanks team at red balloon I had an amazing experience at Colo rally school. The lads were amazing in coaching me thru each step so I could hold it flat. They even went the extra mile literally and threw in an extra couple laps on the house. A sensational birthday present organised by my fiance ❤

Terry 5 January 2020

Despite the heat at 48⁰c the team were amazing. So friendly, cheerful and fun to be with. The drivers are so skilled and, as they fly around the track they explain quite calmly how it all works. Absolutely love the chance to have experienced this and I highly recommend it for anyone and everyone. I'll be coming back.

Good but not excellent

Nikkita 20 October 2019

Hoping for excellent but unfortunately can’t say it was better than good. It was fun while it lasted but the tracks were way too small and it was as over before it even felt like it begun. You need at least double to call it an experience.
