Question

Looking for a rally driving experience for a friend so has anybody got any views on which ones to choose or not ?

Ones that look ok are Bill Gwynnes & the Prodrive Live.

Probably want gravel instead of tarmac and probably an Impreza

How long do you actually get in the cars as well ?

Any thoughts please

Cheers

Mark

hi try doing a search there was a post on this a while back.
from memory bill gwynnes is broken concrete so a bit like gravel but only 15 to 20 mins in car.prodrive all tarmac and about the same time.
If your friend is looking for good rally tips/atmosphere then bill is your man.if hes never been sideways then bill is great...try the mk2 escort.
i also think the higgins in wales do one in the forest...cant remember the name though
cheers

Try the Forest Experience - not Subarus, more Astras but if you fall lucky you will have Mark or David Higgins as your instructor as the family own it.

I went some years ago and ended up with Mark. He's a great guy and an awesome driver as you will find out at the end of the day.

They have their own forest stage and you spend a lot of time in the car - well recommended

They also do accomodation and offer a very warm welcome. A friendly and proffesionally run outfit. You won't be disappointed even if there are no scoobies there.

Thumbs up

Forest Experience, they do have a scooby - built by Barretts, for which both Mark and David have driven, both of them and Tony (their dad) are excellent instructors.
