Yes, spectators are welcome to join and witness the excitement, but only 2-3 people per participant. We have designated viewing areas to ensure everyone’s safety, as safety is our top priority at Mondello Park. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable rally driving experience for all participants and spectators, we kindly request that you adhere to the guidelines from our staff regarding the use of electronic devices, such as smartphones, cameras, and video recorders while at the track. 

We recommend wearing comfortable and casual clothing. Closed-toe flat shoes are best, these types of shoes provide better control over the pedals and help maintain stability while driving. 

As The Rally Experience takes place outdoors, you should dress appropriately for the weather. Additionally, we suggest that you avoid wearing loose clothing and excessive accessories while driving. 

The Rally Experience typically lasts up to an hour. During this time, participants will receive a Safety Briefing, experience a demonstration of the stage with the instructor, go through timed rally stages, receive coaching and feedback, and have a debrief session with pace notes from the driving instructor. It’s a thrilling and action-packed hour that leaves participants with unforgettable memories of the rally driving adventure. 

Absolutely! We offer gift certificates that can be redeemed against any Driving Experience, including the Rally Driving experience. It’s a perfect gift for thrill-seekers and motorsport enthusiasts. 

Yes, safety is our top priority. Our rally track is designed with safety in mind, and all participants will receive a comprehensive Safety Briefing before getting behind the wheel. In order to get an FIA licence, an FIA inspector must conduct a very thorough assessment of the safety level of Mondello Park, which is the only FIA-approved track in Ireland. 

Ensuring the safety and enjoyment of our participants is our utmost priority at Mondello Park. While we make every effort to operate The Rally Driving experience under various weather conditions, extreme weather situations, such as heavy rain, storms, or other adverse conditions, can impact the overall driving experience and pose potential safety risks. In such cases, we will reschedule the session for your safety and enjoyment.
