Went for a day at Rally School Ireland just outside Monaghan town.

Arrived at 8.45am for briefing and then straight into this...

The track was still quite wet so had a good bit of tail happy laps
Another 2 sessions and my best lap time had improved by 10 seconds

Next was this...



After lunch had another go in the Escort and finished with another in the scoob.


My mate also got 2 sessions in this beast...

...the sound was awesome!

They also have this but it wasn't out on the day...


I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the area or if you fancy a great day out, hopefully I'll be going back again soon.

Been there a couple of times - its a cracking set up....

Did David give you a couple of passenger laps in the Impreza? I dont mean the intro ones, if you are back there get him to let you sit in with him, will show you just how hard you can push it on a relativly tight track. Not for the faint hearted I assure you.

Have never seen the 6R4 being ran and I be down there very often durning the summer months - very expensive due to fuel and servicing costs. Killed one of the MkII's the last day I was there - broke 2 stub axels on the one day. Nice to be breaking some elses cars!!!!

Ooo...nice one

I spent a day a rally experience thing at Nutts Corner a few years ago and it was a superb day.

How much time do you get for what sort of money?

Thanks

Last year a half day worked out around Ł130 IIRC. That was 5 reps of 6 laps about (5 sets of 6KM) over tarmac and loose, with hairpin left to get some good use from the handbrake. That was all in the MKII escorts.

They will let you buy extra laps about 12Euro per lap in the impreza, think its about 8Euro a lap in the MKII - if its not too busy.

Not sure about the Quattro, but I think its about Ł600 for them to bring the 6R4 out.

if you have 10 mintes to spare - look them up www.rallyschoolireland.ie

It cost me €420 for the day, that included 4 sessions in the mkII and 2 in the Impreza.
The Audi package is €790 and the Metro is €960.

It's a good track, nice mix of bends (tarmac and gravel), with a hairpin right by the viewing tower

We were there all day, arrived at 8.45am and left around 5pm.
