The Experience
Step into the driver’s seat of the legendary Subaru Impreza - an iconic car that has powered countless rally champions, including the great Colin McRae, to victory.
Your Subaru Impreza Rally Experience is designed for the true adrenaline seeker, someone who craves a driving challenge that pushes both car and driver to the limit.
This full-day experience isn’t for the faint-hearted. You’ll be taking on up to three different rally cars on our twisting, turning rally special stage, with the Subaru Impreza leading the charge. With 280bhp, turbocharged power, and four-wheel drive, the Subaru Impreza offers an intense, focused and exhilarating ride that’s guaranteed to leave you breathless.
Throughout the day, you’ll learn and master the unique rally driving techniques required to handle a car on loose surfaces. These techniques may seem counterintuitive at first, but under the guidance of your Motorsport UK Licensed Rally Driving Instructor, you’ll quickly adapt and start to produce thrilling power slides, precise braking and the perfect rally line through hundreds of challenging corners.
One of the highlights of the day is the elusive handbrake turn—coordinating six actions in just over a second is no easy task, but with plenty of practice, you’ll be executing them like a pro by the end of the session. Your instructor will encourage you to push your limits, urging you to go faster, turn in earlier and use power in places where your instincts might tell you to brake.
By the time you finish your final driving session, you’ll feel a huge sense of accomplishment and have a new appreciation for the incredible skills of World Rally Championship drivers. It’s an adrenaline shot like no other—a day that will leave you sweating, shaking, and grinning from ear to ear.
