Forest Experience Scotland venue, is situated in a stunning Forest location near Castle Douglas, offering panoramic views, smooth gravel roads and an unforgettable driving experience. This isn't just a rally course – it's a true driver's paradise. The high-quality gravel and breathtaking scenery make it the perfect place for our legendary Subaru's and classic MK2 Escorts, delivering all you could want from off camber sweeping corners, tricky hairpins and are-you-brave-enough-straights – a thrilling challenge which is ideal for a fun day out or for knuckling down to improve your Rally Driving Skills. All our days allow time in both cars, firstly in the dedicated skills area to get you used to the loose surface and then onto the incredible rally stage.
We are a family run business - my wife Jade, myself and my father Walter. We have all been rallying for many years and wanted to be able to show everyone how fantastic our sport is.
Jade is a competitive driver having won championships outright and competed for manufacturers, she is an advocate for attracting more women to the sport.
Myself I have competed since I was 16 in various formats and have won a single make national championship along with class wins in various cars along the way.
We have both taught rallying internationally and have worked with some of the best drivers in the world.
We used to be based in Wales but now have our experience located in beautiful scenery of the Galloway hills near Dumfries in Scotland.
Our unique selling point is that we have a full authentic rally stage that winds its way through a forest on the same gravel tracks as used by World Championship drivers for development as well as being used as a competitive stage in the Scottish Rally Championship.
We use fully rally prepared Subaru Imprezas and Mk2 Ford Escorts and you will get a chance to drive both vehicles on any of our experiences.
We only use instructors who have competed in rallying themselves as we want to not just offer an authentic experience but also to be able to offer a level of tuition normally reserved for seasoned competitors - don't worry though they are also fantastic at teaching the basics and are there to make sure you get the most our of your day.
To give you an idea of the pedigree our current line up of instructors include, amongst others.
Jade Paveley - junior Welsh Tarmac Champion and BXCC class champion
Max McRae the nephew of the legendary Colin McRae
Garry Pearson the 4x Scottish Rally Champion
We look forward to welcoming you to an unforgettable Forest Rally Experience.
