Hark back to the classic days of Group B rallying on these Sierra Cosworth rally experiences! The Sierra rally car was a bit of an icon in the motorsport world of the mid 1980s. Hundreds of thousands of L & GL versions (remember them?) roamed the streets but on the rally track it was the Sierra Cosworth that ruled the roost. Well when we say that Ford Motorsport's Sierra RS Cosworth never actually won a World Championship title overall
- but the car & its drivers certainly had some serious fun trying. The likes of rallying legends Carlos Sainz Stig Blomquist & Ari Vatanen have all been at the wheel of a Sierra Cosworth rally with many a stage win. The problem was the Ford Sierra was rallying at a time when the newfangled four wheel drive mean machines were coming out in force led by the Lancia Delta Integrale & the Toyota Celica. Whilst holding its own on the tarmac stages the rear wheel drive Cossie just couldn't match these cars for grip on gravel no matter how much power it boasted. But in today's motorsporting world where every car is all wheel drive it's a real rallying treat to be able to drive the rear wheel drive Ford Cosworth. This centre has a souped up four door Sierra Sapphire saloon & the classic two-door RS Cosworth
- complete with mahoosive whale tail. We have to say there will be a lot of overseer on the gravel stage if you don't get the Cossy under control. & that's what learning to rally is all about. Once you've got to grips with the handling when driving along a surface that feels like a bed of marbles you'll be able to increase the speed & improve your times with every lap. There to help you will be a team of instructors led by school owner Tom. He's pretty good at this rallying lark so hopefully you'll learn some of best bits of rallying from him & the pros. & for that same reason we highly recommend the hotlap to go with your Sierra Cosworth rally session
- it'll show you what it's really all about & it'll be in one of the Sierras!

She very much believes in Wabi Sabi which is the Japanese idea of 'beauty in imperfection' which means that h&-made touch just adds to the appeal & the charm of your jewellery. & of course everything you make during your silversmith course in Kent is yours to keep whether you wear it yourself or give it as a gorgeous bespoke gift. ...

Silverstone. 4x 4. Mud. Water. Surely all the essential ingredients for the perfect off road drive? This experience has been meticulously designed to be a proper challenge in a proper 4x 4 vehicle. No pottering around here you'll be seriously going for it! Your trusty steed for the drive is a Suzuki Vitara. This is no showroom dweller this is a front-line fighter complete with extended air intake winch on the front grille & full harness to keep you in the seat. Prepare yourself for the best bumpy ride of your life as you tackle this tricky terrain. The Silverstone team has certainly come up trumps when it comes to devising the ideal 4x 4 circuit to maximise the off-roading fun. The course is divided into five intertwining sections each with its own set of challenges. & we can tell you now you'll need your wits about you all the way. From going sideways & ramping it up impossibly steep slopes to sliding back down them the other side it's 'heart-in-the-mouth' stuff. Believe in yourself believe in your Suzuki & do it. Of course your instructor will be beside you at all times to encourage give advice & get you round the course. A highlight for many on this Silverstone 4x 4 course is the see-saw. Brilliantly created out of a trailer you'll be perched at 1.5m above the ground trying to just give it enough gas to get on the thing without overshooting spectacularly. Then it's all about finding the pivot point to tip you gently over so you can drive off it. It's a tricky one & you love it! & a little heads up for you. As you're driving through the water troughs watch out for what's beneath you. You can't see anything but they're filled with ruts & potholes to try & put you & your car off balance. Let's just hope you don't stall. & whatever you do don't open the doors when the water's up to the door handles… With lots of deep water sticky mud & steep gradients we think you'll love this 4x 4 session at Silverstone. It's a really well thought out course & it's great to be using a vehicle that loves the rough & tumble of the real off road world. Are you up for the challenge? ...
