The WRX Experience
is the only RALLY DRIVING centre that offers drivers the chance to use the full
power of the cars in safety around our professionally designed SPECIAL STAGE
RALLY CIRCUIT.
View The YOU DRIVE
EXPERIENCE below for an explanation of a Special Stage Rally
Circuit.
Our circuit is
unique. It is graded and beaded before every session so the drivers get a smooth
and perfectly gravelled surface to drive on. On top of this the gravel is
dampened with a water truck to attain the perfect grip level for the tyres. We
are THE ONLY COMPANY that offers this high level of track maintenance to produce
the perfect set up.
When considering
our facility against others that appear to offer the same, please look at the
finer details of the track preparation as this has a major impact on the driving
experience that is offered.
Also, look at the
total driving distance you will receive. Most companies simply state the amount
of laps you get but how long are their laps? How many corners are there to drift
and slide around? Do they have 14 like ours? Do you get to use 1st, 2nd, 3rd and
4th gear? Do you get a fast straight so you can use the power of the car? 8 or
16 laps sounds good but if the laps are only short, then you're not getting as
long an experience as you may think.
You will see that
we are the ONLY COMPANY that offers all this information, so you know exactly
what you are receiving when making your booking.
The WRX Experience offers you the chance to drive or be a passenger in our WRX STi Rally Cars on Australia's only purpose built Special Stage Rally Circuit.
A special stage is a Rally Driving sport where two cars are on the circuit at one time and you can see all the action as the cars drift around the Rally Stage trying to catch one another.
This is great for the Drivers as they can visibly see how they are performing against the other car and also very exciting for any spectators who have come to watch them drive. NO OTHER EXPERIENCE currently offers this unique set up. Even more excitement is created when Drivers are told their best lap time as they roll into the pits. We use state of the art lap timing systems (Trackmate) which records each lap time with pint-point accuracy.
