Rally Experience – 27th March 2010

Instead of having a birthday party, Thomas chose to go on a Rally Experience.  This was run by Vision Motorsport and the boys got three 15 minute sessions each in dual control cars where they were taught basic driving and rally driving skills including handbrake turns! At the end of the session they were driven round the track at high speed by one of the instructors just so that they could see how fast it could be done!

Great fun and they are keen to go again.

Matthew was off first:
