Rally Car Driving Experience

What to expect from a rally car driving experience

Adrenaline provides the equipment and expert training to transform your rally-driving dreams into a high-octane reality. Upon arriving at the race track, you’ll meet your professional driver, undertake a safety briefing, and pop on a racing helmet and overalls. Depending on your package, you’ll hoon a set number of laps around the circuit, learning pro rally techniques from your expert driver as you go. 

Most rally experiences see your driver hop behind the wheel and open up the throttle with a hot lap. Some experiences include one vehicle, while others let you swap between two and select your weapons of choice. 

Located an easy drive from Sydney, our exhilarating Hunter Valley 16 Lap Drive & 1 Hot Lap experience is a crowd favourite. You’ll choose two high-powered machines like the Subaru WRX STi, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, Toyota 86 or Subaru BRZ, and put pedal to the metal for eight laps in each. Then, your expert instructor-driver will take the reins and show you how the pros do it. 

If you’d rather not leave the city to get your dirt drifting fix, check out our V8 Off-Road Race Buggies & WRX Rally experience. Located at Sydney’s Colo Heights rally track, this unique, adrenaline-pumping experience sees you take charge of a supercharged V8 off-road buggy. For eight exhilarating laps, you’ll get airborne over jumps and give it some serious stick. Then, it's time to tackle another exciting dirt circuit in a Subaru WRX before giving your driver the wheel for one crazy hot lap to finish. 

For would-be rally racers in Brisbane, our Rally Driving, 16 Lap Drive & 1 Hot Lap experience delivers plenty of white-knuckle action. You’ll roar around the loose dirt circuit at Willowbank in two different high-powered machines. Hang on tight when your pro driver takes the wheel because things are about to get hairy. 

Top rally driving locations in Australia 

With awesome Australian rally driving circuits in most major cities and states, you won’t have to go far to experience the thrill of kicking up dust like a pro. We’ve partnered with racetracks in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, and South Australia to provide the largest selection of rally driving experiences in the country. 

As for our favourites? It’s a tough call, but we reckon Barbagallo Raceway (Perth) and Wanneroo Raceway (Perth) are hard to beat.  

What is a rally car?

A rally car is a beefy, high-octane automobile exclusively set up or modified for rally racing on a natural surface. Engineers will tweak components like the engine, cooling system, suspension, and tyres to provide the best possible off-road performance. As rallying crashes aren’t uncommon, most rally cars have a roll cage. 

What is the best car for rally racing?

Adrenaline has a wide range of classic rally cars, plus a few hectic novelty machines. Depending on the racetrack, expect to see beasts like the Subaru WRX STi, 350 V8 SS Holden Commodore, V8 XR8 Falcon Brute rally Ute, and Mitsubishi Lancer V8 Evo.

The best rally car depends on your driving experience and personal taste. Everyday Subaru drivers might prefer the familiar feeling (and the unmistakable guttural roar) of the WRX STi, while Holden fans will adore the 350 V8 SS Holden Commodore. For something a little different, our V8 Off-Road Buggy (Colo Heights, Sydney) puts a smile on every dial. 

What are there requirements for Rally Driving?

The requirements vary between experiences and racetracks. Drivers may have to be at least 16 or 17 years old and hold a valid Provisional or full driver's license. Passengers may be younger. 

Weight and height restrictions apply. Many racetracks require you to have some experience driving a manual car.
