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!

Nothing beats driving solo around a track & on this single seater driving experience you'll be doing just that around a challenging purpose-built circuits. So pop your racing helmet on get ready on the start grid & follow those chequered flag dreams! The day you get to drive a single seater starts with familiarisation laps in a performance training car to give you valuable experience of the track so you can drive every corner & curve of the route. Your instructor sitting in the front passenger seat will explain the best way of making smooth rapid progress around the track in readiness for your main 'single-handed' event. You then advance into the world of single seaters finding yourself strapped into the stripped out cockpit of a legendary race tuned 1800cc Formula Ford. These open wheeled racers weigh next to nothing & have handling that's way beyond what you'll have ever experienced before. All current Formula One drivers started their careers going head to head in cars just like this
- now it's your turn. As you head out onto the track you'll have to adjust pretty quickly to the fact that it's just you & the single seater out there
- there's no room for co-pilots or passengers in these single seater machines. You probably won't remember much from your familiarisation laps as you're bound to be concentrating hard on just keeping a controlled lid on all that amazing power under foot but soon you'll get into the rhythm of it all hopefully getting faster & smoother on each lap. At the end of your single seater driving experience you will be presented with an individual driving assessment & personalised certificate.
