What to Expect

  • You will be driving on a low-grip mixed surface rally-style track. Depending on the season or location it could be a variety of surfaces: dirt, gravel, grass, bits of pavement, snow, ice, slush, mud, clay, etc.
  • Completing the pre-training and workshop is strongly recommended — it sets the right foundation for proper driving and having the most fun during your session.
  • If you choose to add an instructor:
    • The curriculum will depend on your goals, skill level, and progression.
    • We are professional rally racers and can help you with any advanced driving skill or motorsport. All you have to do is ask :)
    • Coaching is based on advanced motorsport and military curriculum, giving you some of the most comprehensive instruction available.



Pre-Training and Theory

Hand-over-Hand Steering Practice
1 hour, Independent

You’ll receive a video tutorial and guided exercises to practice on your own in your own car on an empty parking lot before your on-track session.

Hand-over-hand steering is a core motorsport technique that delivers maximum control, precision, and safer everyday driving, especially in critical situations.



Interactive Zoom Theory Workshop
3 hours, Live or Recording

The theory session happens online a few days before you drive and is led by Crazy Leo himself. It’s interactive, packed with rally stories and onboard videos, and sets you up to arrive on driving day already switched on. This spaced-learning format (theory first, driving later) improves absorption and retention. A full recording is provided if you can’t attend live.



Next Steps (if you purchased instructor time)

Driver Progress Report
Will arrive by email with instructor feedback and practical next steps that you can use for future training.


Generally recommended next steps would be:

  • Retake this same package as many times as you want/need - the instructor will always adapt the curriculum to your progression.
  • If you are looking to discover Rallycross Racing or Stage Rallying, consider Intro to Rallycross Racing or Intro to Rally Racing!

FAQ

Can I Gift This Package?
Absolutely! Select "Flexible Date" or a specific event date when booking and tell us it's a gift by email. We will email you a digital gift certificate!

Event Timing
Events usually run from 9 AM to 7 PM. You’re welcome to join us for the entire day and enjoy the atmosphere, but you’ll be on the track only during your allocated slot.

Spectators and Photographers
All spectators are welcome, there is no entrance fee.
If you are a photographer/videographer, contact us to let us know you plan on coming!

Washrooms
Washrooms are currently not available at the training sites due to the outdoor and remote nature of our locations (unless you are ok with bushes ;)). Washrooms are usually available at the nearby cafe or gas station. Location-specific info will be provided by email after booking.

Attire
Shoes: thin soles are optimal. No sandals, crocs, flipflops, high heels, etc.

Helmets
Military-grade bump helmets are provided, but you may bring your own. Avoid racing helmets, because they cover your ears and it might be difficult to hear your instructor.
