Practice 1 – Power sliding, after a short demonstration by your instructor, each pupil will in turn take the driving seat and practice the basic “sideways” control using manoeuvres that co-ordinate power and steering balance
Practice 2 – Handbrake turns, again following a short demonstration, each pupil practices handbrake turns, hard cornering, braking and car positioning techniques through a sequence of tight corners on our special stage.
Practice 3 – Another driving session where the two techniques above are combined and reinforced with surprising results all in the daylight.
Dinner – Taken here at the school or at a local pub whilst we bolt on the car’s auxiliary lighting and await darkness.
After Dinner– Each pupil will drive the full special stage instructor monitoring the techniques practised earlier in the daylight, encouraging the build up of confidence and speed. The authentic “arrowed” route features fast and slow bends, straights and different surfaces testing your new skills and ability to the full, all this in the dark with only the cars auxiliary lighting illuminating the stage.
And finally – The “hot seat” ride. The instructor takes the wheel and gives each pupil a passenger ride at authentic rally speed around the full stage in the dark – awesome experience
Calm down – de brief, the instructor’s summaries the evenings activities giving advice and presents the Silverstone Rally School Night Rally Drive certificates to all pupils.
