Default Rally School Oxon/Berks

Hello,

I am 17 years of age and would like to start learning how to drive a rally car. Does anybody know of any good Rally Schools in the Oxfordshire or Berkshire area?

Thanks for your help.

I've done the london rally school experience in Bicester and Bill Gwynne is based at Turweston near Silverstone. Silverstone have their own school too so there's quite a few in that area.

I've been to the London rally school to (a friend owns part of it lol) and had a really good day. Hooning around in Mk 2 Escorts on gravel.. I learnt a lot about RWD car control and also found out that I'm actually quite quick!

You get what you pay for there, not like they're 4x4 groupe 'N' cars but then again you'd pay twice as much to do that sort of day

IIRC it's 120 for the full day and they include a pub lunch too

That's the half day http://www.rally-school.com/costs.php

Driving the escorts was loads of fun but I wish I'd done the full day.

I reckon Bill Gwyn is pretty good, I could not fault it.
Quite near Buckingham, Bucks,tach you stuff as opposed to letting you just have a blast.
