    Great experience
    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. Maebh
    Hi Maebh. Thank you for your brilliant review. Shane said that you were very responsive to the instructions from the start, which really helped you get very impressive lap times. We are delighted that you had an enjoyable experience and would appreciate a return visit. Thanks Tom and Shane.

    Pure Adrenaline!
    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!
    Hi guys. Thanks for your visit from NC , USA. We really enjoyed how you all adapted so quickly to driving a RHD rally car. Your control and pace improved with every lap, and congratulations to Nancy who took the top step of the podium 🏆 Thank you for your positive feedback and hopefully we will see you all again. Tom, Shane and Richie.

    Unmatched Experience
    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.
    Thank you Tim and Jack for taking the time to recommend RallyConnection Rally School. We really appreciate your feedback. This was our first day back due to Covid and we are delighted that you enjoyed your experience with us. Shane said that you both were very capable and improved with every lap. Hopefully we will see you again soon. Thanks. Tom Kenneally

We were so lucky with our day, frosty start and sunny finish, so a few conditions and both were fantastic!
The guys are so friendly, and if you listen to their tips you will get so fast!
We had such an adrenaline fueled day from the second we arrived, and we're still buzzing!!!
An incredible experience, don't think about booking it, just do it!

Had the best time on the intermediate half day course today! Tom was a boss of an instructor, a rad teacher, enthusiastic and had me feeling safe and confident around the course and having maximin fun! Can’t wait to go back and would highly recommend to everyone of all levels - you’re in the best hands! You receive feedback throughout and notes at the end to help you progress. Would also recommend for people in the UK- it’s worth the travel and we’ll definitely be traveling back… thanks for such a great day!
