WHAT IS LANGLEY PARK RALLY SCHOOL’S

MAIN FOCUS

Welcome to Langley Park Rally School, one of the longest-running rally schools in the UK under the same family.

For decades, we’ve been sharing our passion for rally driving with everyone from complete beginners to seasoned motorsport enthusiasts.

A lot of our instructing is done by our in-house instructors who are not only current rally drivers but those who have had the experience of instructing for many years. We aim to create an unforgettable experience both on and off the track, helping you master the art of car control in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline-fueled gift, a team-building day, or to kickstart your motorsport journey, Langley Park Rally School offers something truly special.

We pride ourselves in being able to give our customers the full experience and have a large workshop facilities for car building and maintenance.

We’re also proud to nurture the next generation of drivers. Our junior programme starts from age 7+ (min height 125cm), giving youngsters the unique opportunity to learn how to properly drive manual cars – not just steering around a track. As their skills develop, they can progress into rally cars, with options ranging from ‘have-a-go’ sessions, birthday parties and our unique Christmas illuminated drive, to holiday day camps and even full rally training, car building and on event support for those who want to take it further.

We’re ideally located for visitors from all over — not only those in the South, but anyone travelling from further afield. Our track is close to the M11 and major train lines from London and the North, making us easily accessible for a thrilling day out. We can provide a taxi service and recommendations for local accommodation.

At Langley Park Rally School, it’s all about real cars, real gravel, and real rallying — come and experience the excitement for yourself!

The Track & Facilities
At Langley Park Rally School, we offer one of the UK’s most exciting gravel rally venues. Our purpose-built track stretches for just over two miles and is split into two distinct sections, giving drivers a varied and authentic rally experience.
The first half features an open, adaptable layout that can be regularly changed using cones and tyres, keeping every visit fresh and challenging. This section also includes our famous jump.
The second half is designed to replicate a real rally stage, with tighter, more technical sections, challenging corners and our iconic bale chicane, putting drivers’ skills to the test.
Surrounding the track are the off-road descents used for our Polaris Buggy Experiences, adding even more action around the venue.
Our facilities include five connected log cabins housing a kitchen and café, dining area, comfortable lounge, and dedicated briefing room. Outside, you’ll find our modern toilet facilities with disabled and family-friendly amenities, picnic benches, and a grassed spectator walkway that runs around the track.
We believe it’s the little touches that make a great day out, so we’ve also added children’s play equipment, garden games, and rugby and football goal posts to keep everyone entertained.
As a family-run business, we pride ourselves on creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where everyone feels welcome – whether you’re a first-time visitor, seasoned rally enthusiast, or simply enjoying the day with family and friends.

FIND OUT WHO IT’S FOR

At Langley Park Rally School, every driver receives one-to-one instruction from an experienced instructor in a safe and controlled environment.

– Welcome and safety briefing
– Introduction to the vehicle and controls
– Getting comfortable in the seat
– Driving on our loose gravel rally stage

– Debrief at the end of the session
