Polishingpedlar 49 Report post Posted October 23, 2014 Yep Fancy that...years since I've been on gravel. Could be a fun day out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted October 23, 2014 I'm sure it would be, always loved playing Rally games but never had the bottle to actually do it.....or the money to get an actual rally spec vehicle But to be able to do it in a GT86 will be awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted October 23, 2014 It'll be fun, but 2x20 minutes is IMO not really long enough. I did a full day with Phil Price as a birthday present some years ago driving a MK2 Escort on gravel, it was fantastic, but I was in the car all day for £300. You'll certainly learn something, but you need the maximum sessions to get a chance to hone your skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted October 23, 2014 Yes he was. I cleared 2nd place by 12 seconds in the little competition at the end. The guy had Asperger's and didn't take it too well! 1 KevinA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will300 812 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 It'll be fun, but 2x20 minutes is IMO not really long enough. Agreed not worth the cost. Especially when most trackdays are less than £165. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted October 25, 2014 Is it though? Trackdays maybe cheaper but you're using your own car for trackdays whereas here, you technically hiring both a car and a driver with insurance, and I'm sure rallying is a lot more risky than a trackday no? 1 Polishingpedlar reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted October 25, 2014 The price is about right, but I won't be paying it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted October 25, 2014 Do this instead and spend all day in a MK2 Escort: http://www.philprice.co.uk/courses/1-day-intense-course/ Price £299. Includes lunch and refreshments. You also get a ride out on the full stage with Phil in his GpA WRX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You also get a ride out on the full stage with Phil in his GpA WRX. This is exactly what I want to do. The link seems to suggest you are in an impreza. Which would be fun but having an escort myself I would much prefer to have go round in a rear wheel mk2 escort. 1 Stan Hawrylak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted October 26, 2014 Well I did it in a MK2 Escort some seven or eight years ago. If you look at the vids they do seem to still use the MK2. Best bet is to ask I would say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted October 26, 2014 That's a bargain Lauren. The chance to drive the iconic Mk2 is worth every penny!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danp 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2014 If you are already used to the gt86 chassis handling on the limit, IMO you would get a lot out of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
