Default Just had my first taste of rallying...

and it was fookin awesome

My mum and dad bought me a driving experience for my birthday and I've just got round to doing it, rally driving at Silverstone

managed to score 92%, he said I should have put more power into and out of the corners, but everything else was good. Also took out a few cones on the way round

I'm thinking of going back up there again soon, really got the bug now

I thought I was doing well on it till the instructor took me out, fook me

I think the best bit of the day was helping out another car, they'd stalled and couldn't get it started so I got told to pull up behind them and push the car along with mine until they could bump it

Forget that playing lark, get yourself a navigators licence and come and do some real events - then see if you still like it.

Drivers are always looking for paying nav's

(Oh and nearly everyone scores over 90% as its a trick we use to make you think your good... so you book another session )

Still fun though - well done

Thats when we use the secret "Kill" button on those type of people. Usually twice on the start line so it stalls on them is enough to make them feel a fool.

They are the type you dont want back so score them low

Would you recommend it to others then ?
