When I wanted to try this, I looked into this long and hard.In the end I did the Silverstone Rally School, Clubmans course.
It cost about £240 for the whole day and there were about 6 others attending. We'd all elected(when booking)for the 2wd Mk II Escorts as opposed to the 4wd Impretzas.
You will learn and do handbrake, powerslide and pendulum turns. Lunch is at a nearby motorsport themed pub (recommended).
Guests can watch although, you would need to be keen and it was wet, dirty and cold.
In all, a great day out and I learnt stuff I didn't really know how to do.I also really appreciated the simple wonder that is a 2000cc Escort.
I recommended it to a mate, who didn't like it, because he didn't like being bollocked by the instructor, when he spun for the 3rd time.
I guess it depends if you want an ' experience' which he did, or to be taught to control the car ' on stage' as I did.
My missus bought me a gift voucher for Xmas and there was a long booking ahead period, when I finally set a date.

I didn't know there was on at Oulton until today. Whilst out for a hoon after a meeting, I had a drive onto Oulton to see if anything was going on and bugger me what should I see but " Rally Stage" signs and someone taking a Cosworth for a shake down.
Bollocks, I'm driving 100 miles to do mine and this is round the bloody corner! Still I get a long weekend away which keeps the Missus happy.
