Breathtakingly fantastic
There's a reason this is booked up so far in advance (although there is a postponements shortlist).... it's absolutely fantastic!
I went with my two sons having booked pre-covid. Travelled night before and there's some great localish places to stay over (B&B The Old Vicarage, eat at The Stag at Titley) ready for 9.00am start. That's a briefing first and then out to their "practice paddock", a kind of big loop of eight, with marked with tyres. Unlike other places which run a "taste" of rallying, this is the real deal. In total we were in a group of 8, novices to improvers, with three cars on the go, so very little standing around. Just enough in actual fact. John and his friendly crew guide and demonstrate, but you'll have many laps on your own in the cars... rear-wheel drive Subarus. Meantime there is a full on, short rally stage... jumps, scaery drops, hairpins and a straight where (I think) Tomi Makinen holds the record speed (130mph). You'll go on a recce lap in a hot 4WD Subaru, then drive yourself with an instructor and there is NO holding back! If that doesn't scare you enough then John took us on a demo run driven by himself and that is a whole new level! We had the time of our lives!
I wanted to add criticism to balance the review, so here it is. On the safety briefing, John should have warned us that if we grinned all day, we might get stuck like that. The day after and we're still grinning! Thank you to your whole brilliant team.
