Birthday present for brother (Rally day?)
I want to do something nice for my brother and know for a fact he would love something like being able to rally a car about but I know he wouldn't be too happy about being a passenger of a rally car as it would be too much of a tease as he would want to drive.
I don't really think he would enjoy a super car as much as a rally car on a track or something so can you guys recommend me some from experiences or tell me what to look out for.
Not really too fussy on the price but I am from the Northeast (Newcastle) so it has to be reasonably close and would happily make a day out of it.
Might already be going Go-karting this week for his 28th birthday but would like to give him something special from myself.
TLDR: Which rally day for brother near Newcastle

as lilbenchy9192 mates said its actually quite disapointing, i went with my old man a few years ago and we got 2 laps in an astra gte for the fwd and 2 laps in a sierra sapphire for the rwd both cars were shagged, then a so called passenger high speed lap at the end.
get him a bungee jump

ive been to a rally thrill at silverstone about year ago and would recommend to anyone was great fun and you do genuinely get to throw the car about in the corners only issue is when you just start getting used to it and actualy managing to get around the track without binning it in a corner your times up but its the same for most of those thril packages unless you get the really high priced ones
