- Stuart MNorwich, United Kingdom17 contributionsSo often, driving experience days leave you feeling short changed, with not enough time in the car and instructors that are constantly reigning you in. Not at Ti rally school. You get ample time in a superbly prepared car and instructors that encourage you to push yourself constantly. Their attitude is relaxed, formal, fun and entirely positive. I can’t recommend this experience enough, whether you’re an experienced petrolhead, or someone that wants to try something different. The fact that they use the iconic rear wheel drive Mk2 Escorts really sets it apart from many other rally driving experiences. I can’t wait to come back and do it again.Visited April 2024Traveled with friendsWritten April 27, 2024
- martin c31 contributionsFantastic day from start to finish. Mick and Phil are brilliant tutors who make driving fun throughout the day. Plenty of driving experience. You start off steady but by the end of the day you feel like you can win the WRC 😂. Highly recommend if you want a fun packed rally experience 👍Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 31, 2024
- Ben A1 contributionAmazing day here, great fun, so relaxed the guys were great so helpful and encouraging, learnt so much. The best part is above all other driving experiences it’s all about time in the car and actually getting to know the car and the techniques needed. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting a fun day out especially if you’re into cars or rally driving. Thanks for a memorable experience I will certainly be back 😊😊Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 23, 2024
- lrk13 contributionsI went for a half day session with my son, we had a great time. Lasted 3 and a half hours in total. Within that you get lots of go’s in the car with an instructor telling you what to do. There were 10 of us and you cycle through each pair (there are 2 cars), having a 10-15 minute drive each time. It was fantastic fun, totally authentic experience. The instructors are very down to earth and good fun. It is hard work! Great fun being there with another person who is also driving. There is a timed lap at the end, for competitive fun and btw I came 3rd 👊😁. Very good value for money, I totally recommend it.Visited December 2024Traveled with familyWritten January 1, 2025
- Laura S1 contributionGot this gift as wedding present and it did not disappoint! If you are wanting a hands on day driving a rally car this is the place to be. The full day starts at 9am and finishes around 4pm with an hours dinner break! Definitely value for money and a great day. If you want to see more visit there Facebook page. Thanks for a great day, we will be back.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 25, 2024
- Callum S1 contributionAmazing day out at t.i rally school. A great way of instructing me as I was able to just get in the car and learn on the go, very relaxed and felt so comfortable couldn’t keep the smile off my face all day, couldn’t recommend the place more! Will definitely return.Visited November 2024Traveled with familyWritten November 15, 2024
- ChrystaN3 contributionsMy husband was bought the half day rally experience as a gift. I went along to watch. My husband had a really good day and there was a great atmosphere in the group. Excellent to watch as an observer and we were able to get some great video footage. A really fun morning. Would highly recommend the experience for couples, solo's, groups of friends and corporate days.Visited July 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 24, 2024
- Philip HWakefield, United Kingdom2 contributionsI had an amazing day at TI Rally School, Phil & Mick are two of the nicest guys I have ever met their passion for Rallying oozes out in bucket loads making the whole day so special This was a gift for my 60th Birthday and what at gift it was I think I smiled for 8 hours non stop and the same I think was also true for my other nine class mates It was truly a day to remember we all spent so much time actually driving and with the encouragement of Phil and Mick pushing and encouraging you on ever run Thank you so much for a fabulous dayVisited November 2024Traveled soloWritten November 3, 2024

As a group of 10 mates, averaging mid 40s, we booked the full day experience. Before you know it, you're in the car with an instructor talking you through every manoeuvre to swing their sophisticated cars, that for some reason they have trusted you with, around the tyres. This is not like driving your car to the shops, you're being told different ways to go around corners as fast a possible.
As the day progresses, the course continually grows and it finishes off with everyone doing a number of timed laps. By this stage, internal competition was high watching how each other deals with different sections of the course. You need the breaks to think about what you're doing, have a rest and a chat to your friends.
We learnt that rally driving isn't simple, yet the instructors were fantastic and made it possible. It would take years of practicing to be able to go around the course as quick as they can, but they are teaching you and encouraging you to try and be as quick as them from the start.
We all loved the day out and would highly recommend it to anyone else considering it.

Had an amazing day on Saturday on the full day rally experience. I came here almost 25 years ago on the same experience day and the good memories came flooding back (won’t be leaving it so long to come back next time!)
I’ve been on quite a few other driving days over the years and they always disappoint in some way. They all seem to be geared to getting more and more cash out of you and you spending very little time actually driving.
Not the case at TI. After a very quick chat, you’re suited up and immediately getting in the car to start learning as you go and, more importantly, having some fun with it. The day and the track evolves as the day goes on introducing more elements to try and test and improve you.
Phil, my instructor, was fantastic! (Just as I remember him from years ago) giving great advise, help and tips to change things for your next run.
Your time in the cars is perfect, giving you enough time to take in the adrenaline from you last run, chat with the other attendees and watch everyone else’s progress. Then it’s back to your turn and away you go again.
Can’t forget the cars! The sounds, the smells and just the brilliant ‘mechanical’ nature of them. Just makes your drive home seem very dull I’m afraid!
Thanks again gents, I will be back soon.

Incredible day out ( 16/04/22 ) been to a few rally/motorsport courses over the years but this was by far one of the best. You literally get in the cars straight after suiting up and briefing in the morning. There were 10 drivers there but 2 cars running so you weren’t waiting around long to get your next turn. The friendly nature of the instructors Mick and Phil set the tone for the day and it was a very friendly atmosphere and made the day even more enjoyable. With the cars being rear wheel drive you spend lots of time going sideways! and the course can suit anyone of any driver ability (so don’t be shy) If you have any interest in motorsport you have to put this place on your to do list. We will be booking to go back again soon. Thanks so much all at TI!

What a brilliant experience. It's clear from the outset that the instructors enjoy doing what they do and it puts everything into a fun and relaxed mood.
It's a tight, short circuit but, with the application of a little water in places, there's a great mixture of corners and surfaces to give you a taste of everything.
The cars are great fun to drive, all noise and flailing limbs in the cockpit. Throw it in, yank the handbrake, give it some throttle, then entertain your friends by running out of talent. And all in an iconic rally car.
I am now insisting my wife calls me Ari Vatanen.

Excellent day delivered by welcoming, friendly and professional instructors. I visited TI Rallyschool several years ago for an experience and had a brilliant day. As a result of that, I recently treated my teenage son to an introductory experience - he is a relatively new driver so the idea was for him to gain some car control techniques along with having loads of fun. Mission accomplished! Straightforward, no nonsense, the guys get you into the car and learning the techniques straight away. The cars are full-on MkII Escorts - properly prepared and maintained rally cars. Awesome. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Absolutely awesome day out sat 20th August 2022 if you want a real driving experience then this place as got to be top of the list. This tests your car control and you won’t get a better sensation or feeling than going sideways in a mk2 escort. The guys running it make it so enjoyable and just push and push you on. Lots of time in the car. Best driving experience in my opinion by a mile. It was nice to be driving a rally car rather than navigating in one!

Great day out. Friendly instructors, a laugh and some crazy stories.
The instruction was clear and easy to understand which eases the nerves.
These cars are brilliant to drive and you can do stuff that you can’t in your own car.
I would recommend this team to anyone who wants to try rally driving for the day and stuff Ferrari experiences!!
Magic and never smiled so much.
Thanks guys

Having done multiple driving experience days where the instructors keep you firmly in check by having you slow down, or to change up a gear low in the rev range, I went to TI with some scepticism as to how much 'fun' they would allow.
I shouldn’t have doubted them!
Firstly, the briefing has enough information but was...brief; we were asked to have fun and not take it too seriously. Then into the car for some lessons on handbrake turns and power sliding. Then finally, some laps on their stage.
The time in the car was very fair for everyone involved and they ACTUALLY LET YOU DRIVE. Every time I felt I had pushed it a bit far and I may be reprimanded or asked to slow down, the instructor would give some positive reinforcement and follow up with a suggestion that I go faster, or power slide further next time. I think everyone stalled, span the car, ran over old tyres and knocked over cones... and it wasn't an issue, just simply part of the learning curve. Needless to say, there weren't any offers of damage waivers for extra cost like I've been encouraged to pay at other driving experience days!
There were people of varying ability at the course and it was clear that all involved were markedly improved by the end of the day, which is testament to the calm and encouraging nature of the instructors.
In all, a brilliant half day of rally and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to give it a go!

A great day out. Full hands on driving experience right from the word go, at the hands of some excellent instructors who enjoy what they do so much. You won't stop smiling even as a spectator. The mark 2 escorts with 3 litre capri engines are great little cars to learn in

This is an amazing experience and I highly recommend you try it! The guys who run the course are all really friendly, down to earth and know their stuff. The cars look like they're pretty slow from the spectators' point of view but when you're in there it feels really fast and quite an adrenalin rush!
Great service from a local company and a great experience to tick off your bucket list.
Thanks guys. Loved it!
