The Experience

Kick up some mud and channel your inner rally legend with this Subaru Rally ‘Dirt’ Experience. Subaru’s rally pedigree is the stuff of motorsport folklore, with icons like Colin McRae, Petter Solberg and Ken Block turning the Impreza into a global hero. Now it’s your turn to take the wheel and see what all the fuss is about.

Things get off to a flying start with a 30-minute briefing that sets you up with the essentials: racing lines, throttle and braking techniques, and how to keep everything safe while still having a properly thrilling time.

From there, you’re straight onto the dirt stage for four sighting laps, including one high-speed passenger blast in a Subaru Impreza ‘Hawkeye’. This is your chance to feel how Subaru’s famous 50/50 4WD system grips, pulls and flings itself out of corners.

Then it’s your moment in the spotlight: eight laps behind the wheel of a 4WD Subaru Impreza, with a skilled co-driver guiding you through the twists, turns and cheeky bends of the rally stage. This is where you learn the good stuff, how to power slide with control, nail the handbrake turn, and even master the legendary Scandinavian Flick.

What your experience includes:

  • 30 minute introductory briefing: covering racing lines, throttle/braking technique and track day safety etiquette.
  • 4 x sighting laps including 1 high speed passenger lap in a Subaru Impreza ‘Hawkeye’ rally car on the dirt stage.
  • 8 laps driving around the dirt rally stage in a 4wd Subaru Impreza with a co-driver navigating your route.
  • Expert tuition on how to power slide out of corners and the iconic ‘Scandinavian Flick’ and the use of the handbrake to pitch the rally car into the corner.

In the event the Rally Stage has had too much rain water, a Dakar Rally Yamaha YXZ1000R will be used for the experience.

The centres contracted with us hold public liability insurance. We also hold contingency liability cover.

Some operators require customers to complete an indemnity/damage waiver form prior to taking the experience. This may state the driver is liable for a fixed amount of costs should they damage the vehicle whilst driving. Most operators are able to provide additional insurance to cover this at a small additional fee, payable on site. The purchase of this is optional and is in addition to the public liability insurance held by all venues. The full details of any indemnity or damage waiver and additional insurance will be provided by the activity operator. WonderDays is unable to advise or comment on the content or suitability of any such waiver or additional insurance.
