Our Motorsport Essentials program should be your first step into the exciting world of Motorsport. This full day program is conducted on public roads and is designed to set you up for repeatable foundations and essential skills that are imperative in Motorsport events.  Once you have mastered these foundations, you will then have the ability to apply these skills at high speeds in the Motorsport Excel-erate Track Day program.

​

Your instructor for the day, will empower you to achieve a solid set of foundation skills required for ‘high end’ driving. These skills include setting optimal seating and steering positions, ideal strategies for cornering, stability, vision and planning. Rallying and racing are high-risk sports that require a high level of focus and concentration, combined with the skills, knowledge and attitude for success. By the end of the day, you are amalgamating all the skills, planning and thought processes required for this demanding ,yet satisfying sport. In addition, we cover off driving a rally car on public roads in a sound manner that won’t attract unwanted attention.

 

The Motorsport Essentials program is a fantastic day full of learning and fun and is ideal for any motorist enthusiast.

This is the business end of high speed driving. Once you have refined the skills at slow speeds, you must now apply these skills at high speed. You will be doing fast laps but we work on other techniques. These include various entry methods, power on methods, car control and even how to be flamboyant correctly (never waste a crowd is our motto!).

 

Lap times are important but it makes up for only 25% of the effort.​

​

We will help you apply the similar principles we have already shown you in the Motorsport Essentials Program into higher speeds and wider roads.

 

This includes sets of exercises to better understand the limits at speeds around 80kph so the day is not too harsh on your vehicle.

​

Through an in depth conversation about your objectives and requirements, our instructors will establish a customised strategy of approach to test the outer limits of your driving ability and your vehicle.

Tarmac and Gravel Rallying is a form of motorsport that takes place on public or private roads with modified production or specially built road-legal cars. It is distinguished by not running on a circuit, but instead in a point-to-point format in which participants and their co-drivers drive between set control points (special stages), leaving at regular intervals from one or more start points. Rallies may be won by pure speed within the stages or alternatively by driving to a predetermined ideal journey time within the stages.

 

This course is intended to provide people intending to compete in a rally for the first time, with knowledge of Basic Rally Co driver Techniques, how to undertake the Rally control processes, prepare them-selves and their vehicle, and to follow Pace Notes in a car Rally (Tarmac or Gravel). The purpose is to enable them to minimise unnecessary distractions and anxiety during the event, to concentrate on competing safely.
