The details:

The Junior Rally programme is designed for drivers aged between 13 and 17. The course gives young ambitious drivers the chance to experience full Group A specification front wheel drive rally cars whilst receiving tuition from fully qualified rally instructors.

The course is conducted in a safe environment and allows drivers to progress and develop the necessary skills to get the maximum from the high revving and nimble FWD rally cars.

Whilst the cars are fitted with dual controls they are an ideal learning platform for future progression, being fitted with limited slip differentials, bias braking, close ratio gearboxes, fully adjustable rally suspension, hydraulic fly off handbrakes and weld in roll cages. Being specifically designed for the aspiring driver, these single make challenge cars, once mastered can see a driver propelled to some of the most competitive series in the sport.

The driver stays with the same instructor for the duration of the course and benefits from the continuity and the high level of instruction.

Please do not confuse this course with alternative junior rally experiences. This is a comprehensive course offering a ‘complete’ rally training package.

The Junior rally programme is split into 2 levels

Level 1

The driver will arrive and sign in at LRS premises. The course will start with a briefing from the instructor covering aspects of safety, technique, stages, rally cars and the course format. Once a driver has competed level 1 they are expected to have completed and be competent at the following:

• Basic rally car technical and functional familiarisation
• Initial driving assessment of current ability
• Clutch, steering, braking, gear choice development
• Combating oversteer and understeer
• Lift off oversteer on open circuit
• Handbrake turns on open circuit
• Correct entry and exit lines from corners
• Basic understanding of pace note systems

For a driver to progress to level 2 they must have completed a level 1 course at LRS.

Level 2

The driver will arrive and sign in at LRS premises. The course will start with a briefing from the instructor covering aspects of safety, technique, stages, rally cars and the course format. Once a driver has competed level 2 they are expected to have completed and be competent at the following:

• Driving on purpose built forest rally stage receiving pace notes from instructor
• Road position choice on rougher parts of stage
• Maximising entry and exit speeds from corners
• Modifying pace notes where driver feels necessary
• Using left foot braking to position and stabilise car
• Adapt to surface changes and apply techniques to suit
• Gaining the fastest possible stage standing start

Having completed stage 2 we would expect the driver to be at a level of competence that would allow them to compete competitively in a grass roots rally series or single make rally championship in the UK.

Each driver will receive a rally certificate on completion of their course.

The cost of each level is £395, this includes, safety gear, refreshments, weekdays only.
