How to Become a Rally Driver- Harder than I thought ! 

Wish I could get into this. I've had people tell me my entire life I'm a really good and safe driver. I was driving cars when I was 12. But for rally you need to have the balls but not be overconfident..also be able to stay alert more than you would being an aircraft pilot. Anyone in north east United states wanna team up and start a little club or something? I want to get involved in this even if its begginer rally school..

Really interesting to hear the guidance at 6:25 A lot of people would have left that out of the video due being embarrassed they are not a pro rally driver after 5 minutes. Well done mate, a really interesting video and insight in to rallying

That looked awesome fun. The speed of rally cars, the moving around of the car , the varying surfaces, corners, and elevations along with the use of pace notes makes for a great motorsport. Can easily burn an hour on You Tube watching old rally car videos. Think Petrol Pup was glad to be out of this video.

I recall watching on TV a driving programme that pitted the top rally drivers against top F1 drivers. It must have been a good 25+ years ago. Sadly, I cannot recall the name of the programme though. However. My point is this. Of all the races I ever saw, 90% of them were won by the rally drivers. Which isn't surprising seeing what rally drivers have to drive over compared to F1 drivers. And the speed of the rally drivers has to be seen to be believed. I went to some forest in the middle of Wales 30 odd years ago to watch a stage of the WRC and those drivers were tanking it through the forest at phenomenal speeds and all on gravel. It was both awesome to watch and a tad scary too.

Hahahaaa! So glad you have tried rally driving at long last! It is sooooo different to what you are used to with racing around a circuit. Made up for you that you had a great time. You just need to try a tarmac stage next..! And you comment that rally driving is the more skilful discipline between circuit racing and rally driving is (IMHO as a dyed in the wool rally enthusiast) spot on! Great stuff, Peter! I knew you’d love the experience! Cheers!

I spent the day at the Phil Price Rally School. Had a great time and possibly the best rally school I've attended.

Great film...that looked Super-Fun!

Hi my 40th birthday present was a day at the Bill Gwynne rally school a few years ago now and I too got to drive and Subarus, it was an epic, totally different than driving on the road will never forget it (it may have helped as I had a Subaru Impreza STI as I somehow bagged driver of the day!) . I have to say though the stage we drove on was nowhere near the size of the one you were on that looked a fair size!! 👍😎😎

Nice mix of internal and external filming. Looked like great fun.

That was fantastic. You looked/ sounded like you enjoyed it too.

11:42 the bunny? just made it out of the path of the car. Pretty hairy track with trees, fences and drop-offs, cool weekend activity. Really damned cool.

Great stuff. I always found rallying terrifying just to watch. Great variety of top notch content you are putting together. 🙌

Hello buddy. I’m sure this is how our girls go to the Supermarket every time it rains, then when they head off to the shopping outlets, when there is a sale and they want a parking space!!!

Great fun, loved the vid

That looked like great fun. Nice video!

Now that’s a stag do. Josh being my best man, means I won’t be playing lol.

I Love driving sideways I do the same thing at target with carts on the cart machine

Great video!

Been there and done that - you have to experience going in the blue car to really appreciate it - airborne at least a few times

Looks great fun!

Excellent video. OMG! That looked totally awesome. Great driving and that hot lap looked epic but I'm sure it was unreal for you.

Cracking little film. Very different to circuit driving. Well done.

Joining Motorsport Racing is one of my dream....

Another task I’d love to try. Nice one indeed pal. Ya have so much to do at once.

Drone’age’ nice!! Great video, brings back memories of that place. Not a bad little town nearby for beers too 😋

Wow, what a nice content! I've been looking for this kind of presentation for sometime now. ....very well done indeed. I've been interested in rallying since childhood but haven't got hold of a rally car yet. I'm building mine from a standard car and look forward to acquire a fully prepared factory rally car (doesn't matter whether it is 2nd or 3rd hand!). Once again thanks for the insight; ...really appreciate so much.

Now that looks a lot of fun. I think the car with the two steering wheels might of freaked me out a bit mind !

Awesome video, I have to search for something like that here in Germany. First to the Nürburgring and then this could be another great experience

I desperately want to do that! got to give this a go soon.

That looked like awesome fun!

Great to see you trying some rally driving.! Quite a different kettle of fish from what you`re used to. Once you get the feel to use the throttle, your hands won`t move so much , but it takes a while.(well it did in my case, and I`m still not very good) Ha ha, so the instructor didn`t get to use his own steering wheel!! Not seen that before!

A bit of drone action going on Pete 💖💖💖💖💖💖 Great stuff

I did this a couple years ago and I can safely say I was crap. Could not get it right, all day. Enjoyed the passenger ride at the end though.

Hi Ped Sunday evening siting with a large glass of red watching your latest, after busy weekend marshalling at Prescott Hill Climb (2 14 hr days). Just what I anticipated another epic video, well done.👍👍👍.As you are always up for a challenge I must try harder and persuade you try a competitive Hill Climb in Ruby, you would love it🥰🥰🥰 Come on have a go.🤭🤭

Great stuff RIP to phil may he rally in peace!

Quality video, a good mixture of shots. You didn’t explain the 2 steering wheels.....

I thought 1was super acute and 9 was basically no turn?

Cool episode. Looks like you had a fun time rallying. :)

Looks great will try it

Another doubt. How to participate in international rally races?

This is gonna be good 👌👌👌👌👌

Nice one Pete, I knew you'd love it. Trouble is now you've done it once, it's like a drug, you will need another fix lol. You did ok for your 1st time out on gravel, next time you will relax on your steering inputs, and use more throttle control. Well done mate, cool video. 👍👍🏁🏁

excellent video mate, seriously wanna do this course

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!

Looks like really good fun

Great day there bud would like to try that aswell lol

The pacenote system sounds a bit arse about face to me. All the onboards I've ever watched using a number system, 1 is an acute 1st gear turn, while 6 a fast 6th gear turn. Some have plus or minus in there for extra information

Do we have to take science or arts for becoming a rally racer

Too much correction on oversteer Mr Ped. Great drive though 👍🏼👍🏼

Was revisiting this video about to get a session booked until I read he died a couple years back. So sad!

Rallying drains your money,you spend hours building it -under the car, and if you bend it on a rally your have to spend money on repairs if you have the money. You do very little driving compared to the hours of preparation and planning. It isn't glamorous.BUT can be extremely rewarding If you have the time and lots of money,and dedication,do it.When you drive on a rally you have to learn to drive all over again,its totally different from anthing else. Forget how you have driven before,it won't help you.

good driving mate, just need to start getting on the power a bit earlier

"super impretza"

Hi man. I have this doubt that do the rally drivers and Co drivers have to be from the same country for the race.?

If we mention Petrol Ped do we get discount

Why is he see-saw-ing at the steering wheel like an absolute mad man?! His steering input looks extremely excessive! 😳

Hi Pete

Pick a big forest with lots of roads and rip it up until the popo arrive then get the hell out of dodge 😂

so slow, can get any decent speed because of the shit tyres they put on the car and too high pressure. oh well I wont give them my money.
