Rallying for 14 to 17 year olds

What sort of training will I get?


Our mission;

"To educate and prepare young people for a future in rallying through training and participation."

Training Plans

Training is an intrinsic part of what we do. We believe it plays a vital part in developing safe competent drivers, as well as building their self confidence. We can take somebody who, at 14, has never sat in a car, and by the time they are 17, they are ready for the 'senior' rally world.

Training Days comprise track tuition and classroom sessions, and the majority of training activity takes place at Knockhill Racing Circuit, Kames Motorsport Complex, and the Forrestburn Hillclimb.
