What Can I Expect

Silverstone junior rally experiences! Adrenaline tasters, half-day and full-day rallying experiences just for 14 to 17 year olds at this brilliant rally school opposite the famous Silverstone race circuit.

We have to say, this rally school at Silverstone is the real rallying deal. They’ve been training champions here since 1982. It’s run as a proper training academy and has been British Association of Rally Schools (BARS) accredited for many, many years.

These sessions for youngsters are held during school holidays, using rally prepped Nissan Micras. These front-wheel pocket rockets are great fun to take around the loose gravel surface rally stage at Silverstone - and ideal for training youngsters.

The instructors (who have been doing this rallying lark for a long time and to a high level) are very patient, with driving geared to each youngster's ability. Each car runs with a group of six kids.

The Adrenaline sessions at Silverstone offer the perfect taster for teens who want to dip their toes into rallying. The half and full-day experiences expand on those basic rally principles, with further coaching on things like left and right-handed handbrake turns and powerslide techniques, as well more track time.

The idea at Silverstone is for 14 to 17 year olds to get a real taste of what being a rally driver is all about.

And a word for the family who want to watch the juniors doing their rally thing; this Silverstone school has a clubhouse with a viewing balcony, so you can see the action out on the loose gravel both inside and outside, as the kids go for it under the watchful eye of the highly-experienced coaching team.
