That seems pretty cheap for what it is. Not a full day, granted but it'd make for a good afternoon.

They're a reputable mob, run by Mark Taylor (Coral Taylor's husband...). Mark used to rally a genuine GTHO!

I know some of the instructors and they're all very competent.

I know that you're in SA but I did this last year, if you can, try it one day, it's awesome

They taught you how to do the Scandi flick in their 05 STi and on my final lap I was getting through some 90deg. bends and hairpins at a pace I thought was silly originally. Was totally buggered by the end though, fitness level not great either. :
Rallying a big V8 RWD ute just wouldn't be the same, it would just feel like circle work!!

I do like the thought of a racing a wrx, but I also like the challenge of a rwd ute too. Plus its a v8 so the fun and noise will excite me also.
