Anyone actually done one of those rally packages?

They look good and well priced too. I paid about £250 in 2001 for the rally morning at brands hatch when they had Escort Cosworths. Was great fun. I'd say go for it. Smile

My mate went to one and was quite disappointed with it. Understandably, he felt he couldn't really go quickly (dangerously probably lol)

Jonnie off here runs a rally school, meant to be pretty decent.

I'm aware of Jonnie, met him before when buying bits in the past.
Seems an oddly uninterested chap No

I think a lot of it is down to the instructor. My one at brands gave me full rains each lap id listen and improve. He was epic. However, some people have said that the instructors have barely let them do anything.

Yeh I'd agree with that. I did a 206 one at brands and thought it was wicked. The instructor was constantly urging me to floor it and go faster to the point were I crashed twice. Not badly however and just bounced off some inflatable barrier things. 

I'd definitely recommend it Thumbs up

Yah i looked at that one Rich306, it's not far from me......but i decided that with it being so wooded and lets be honest riddled with things that could write off a rally car........they probably wouldn't let you go that fast, now i know it's all about speed but there's literally hardly any margin for error if you ask me....

Exactly what i was thinking, i'd just like to handed the reigns to a car to take off-road 'legally'?
Hence why i looked it up…. Thumbs up

I was looking at one the other day, You get to drive a 206, Impreza and Evo.....it's a coned track but far from actually going down to Jonnie205's school which is f**king miles away....it's probably the best and best value one out there, there's always taking your own car on one Wink

Jonnie is closer to me considering Yorkshire is about 3 hours away haha.
I wouldn't take the Rallye on there, maybe a beaten up Gti, but don't you need a rallying licence for that sort of thing?
