Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Myself and my son had a brilliant rally experience today with Tom and Shane. Great facility, well set up and maintained cars. But above all the instruction and patience they provided was excellent. The thrill of driving a Mark2 and trying to master handbrake turns in a safe environment was great.
Highly recommended this experience for a unique insight and to get the adrenaline pumping.

Best unique experience in Ireland! The instructors are fantastic and made me feel very safe, but still pushed me enough to get a huge thrill out of driving. Everything about this whole process was easy and enjoyable. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Tom, Richie and team were fun and entertaining. I highly recommend attending if you have the chance. Pure adrenaline rush!

First time driving a rally car and had a fantastic time - Tom and Shane were both very professional and friendly and made the day enjoyable for everyone. Shane in particular was patient, knowledgeable and pushed me to achieve a winning lap time! Would highly recommend and would love to return.

First time driving a rally car like this and it surpassed all expectations and hopes. Super staff, very friendly and helpful throughout the day. Great course and gives you a chance to experience something like no other. One of the best things I’ve ever done and will definitely be back for more. Can’t praise this highly enough.

What a day! I've no idea how Tom and Shane (two great instructors) are so cool and calm in the passenger seat! I had the best day and have been talking about it since. It was a great thrill and adrenaline rush. Loved it. Would highly recommend the experience.

We opted for the advanced course and it was totally worth it. Tom, our instructor and I believe the owner and former rally driver himself was so friendly and a great instructor! He was patient with us and made sure that we did our absolute best. He never held us back and his constructive criticism was great! Would recommend all day everyday! Thanks Tom and we hope your son does great with his next race!

Forget the school run and release your inner rally driver!
I had no experience, but because the instructors were so calm and confident, it made me feel very safe and I had complete trust in them so I was confident enough to end up flying around the course!
We had a mixed group in gender and ability and the team catered for all and made sure everyone had a great time and drove to their capabilities.
You have to do this it is so much fun!”

Thank you Jo for your kind review and recommendation. You were showing great progress and ability as the day went on. Even-though I wasn't instructing in your car, I noticed that you were on the pace very early and you pushed on to get a very well deserved podium, putting it up to the lads :-). Hope to see you soon.
