Rally School Ireland, located just outside Monaghan, is recognised as Ireland’s premier motorsport facility.

Its fitted with a purpose-built rally track and an impressive array of cars that are available for customers to drive.

These include a Porsche, a range of BMWs, Toyota GT 86, Subarus, Mini Coopers, the 3.3seconds  to 100kph ariel nomad and the very popular Mk 2 Escorts.

But there’s much more to it than just catering for those seeking fun, excitement and adrenalin, the track is a very safe and controlled environment where people have the opportunity to learn to control their vehicle.This knowledge will help them in their day to day driving

With Rally School Ireland’s impressive spectator watch tower and canteen facilities, the place has become popular for all customers who fancy themselves as a rally driver for a day, with great facilities for all to enjoy.

It caters for all ages from junior rally experiences from age 10 to the more mature clientele. Recently they had an 81-year -old grandmother join them with her grandsons. Couples, dads and sons, mums and daughters, corporates, there are packages to suit everyone.

Gift vouchers at this time of the year are an ideal gift for both car enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies,the perfect  Christmas present and can be tailored to  suit every budget.There are also some very special Christmas Rally experience gift packages available at the moment.

In 2018 Rally School Ireland will open Ireland’s first Road Safety Centre of Excellence where they will use immersive training teaching to save lives. One of the groups that will benefit from this centre will be Transition Year students in the country.

An Immersive award winning VR experience will put the student right into a situation where Speed, lack of Seatbelts , Drink & Drugs, Fatigue & Distraction are present and how this will affect the driving experience, and the possible outcomes.

An F1 reaction test machine will gauge their  reaction time while wearing beer googles and students will get to experience what it is like to be supported by your seatbelts in a 360 degree Rollover Simulator.

This unique opportunity will provide students with a respect for the skill of handling a car and yet teach them that the wrong choices and actions will affect their future life.

To enquire about Christmas gift vouchers, Rally experiences or the new Rally School Ireland, Road Safety Centre of Excellence call 047 89098 – NI +353 47 89098 or visit their website on www.rallyschoolireland.ie.
