Bill Gwynne Rallyschool International

Whilst I enjoyed the chance to drive the Mk2 and Impreza, I was a bit underwhelmed with my full-day rally experience at the school. There wasnt really much tuition to go on, and the instructor seemed to assume that youd know what you were meant to be doing. Otherwise, you were just told instructions and barked at when you got something wrong. Students were changed over so rapidly that you never really found your flow - a couple of laps and then it was onto the next. Could do with more tuition, feedback and more time in the car. Could be just a little better.

Great fun, expert tuition, well established..... follow in the footsteps of Richard Hammond! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience....even with a broken driver's windscreen wiper in the rain... Challenging.

Really poor experience albeit that I had to change the date once due to a death in the family, but a few days before the rearranged date, I receive an email from Paul stating the date needs to be changed due to track surface being repaired by the landlord. Of course this is out of their control, but the annoying thing is as no other dates suit me so I need to cancel; which has been the nightmare. Paul seems too busy and the only person that can do the refund, even from calling over the past 3 weeks to get this resolved. This shows the lack of professionalism that Bill Gywnne has as a business, which will stop me from ever buying a course with them in the future. For these reasons, I would not recommend this company and suggest looking at an alternative.

Professional, fun, superb rally & motorsport tuition. We booked a full day's 1 to 1 tuition at Bill Gwynne Rally School for our two sons (19 & 20). Dad wanted them to learn about car balance, prior to moving up from karts to motorsport in cars, in a safe, professional environment. Initially, they were keen to go to a forest rally centre until they realised that they would not to capable or allowed to drive at speed like Colin McRae. I searched rally schools and luckily found Bill Gwynne which was, in fact, the first UK rally school, established decades ago and who had seen many race drivers through its doors. If you just want a rally experience, they do this too, and with the set up they have, it would be a fabulous venue for corporate team building events, adult birthdays etc. For us though, we wanted the lads to be pushed, to learn and to enjoy themselves and Paul ensured all of this. They had real, bone fide champion instructors who were brilliant- encouraging, explained the techniques thoroughly and by the end of the day, the lads looked like they had been doing it for years! The day ended with a detailed assessment and a certificate. The lads said the day was "lots of fun and i learned a lot, considering I didn't have much experience ". If we lived nearer, we'd be here regularly, that I can guarantee! Thank you to Paul, Dom and Ian - superb!!
