Rally Experience Days with Automatics

[Carfiend]

PH I have a mission for you if you wish to accept it.

I have a friend who for reasons that are unimportant can only drive an automatic. She has expressed a desire to go on a Rally Experience Day. My question is does anyone know if the usual suspects for these experience days have automatics cars available. I have does a search and sent a few queries in but no answer yet so I thought I would pick your brains to see if you know if this is the case.

Thanks in advance.

Off road buggies are usually autos for a similar experience if no rally cars found.

Likewise with quad bikes etc. Most are auto. I think you might struggle to find a rally car with auto.

Maybe find one with paddle or sequential shift (I assume her issue is with the clutch maybe due to some disibility)

Is it due to her not bothering to learn how to drive a manual or does she has a leg missing?

It is a disability rather than not bothering to learn to drive a manual. Thanks for the ideas so far.

Hunt around and I'm sure there'll be a rally school with a car with a sequential fitted.

Could she use a sequential gearbox with flippers on the wheel? Or with a tall push/pull style sequential manual box? I think that there would be a reasonable liklihood of finding one with those type of controls.

Flappy paddle might work. I did contact the silverstone one but no response yet. Will give them a call today during sensible hours.

This lot offer rallying experience in autos and with hand controls if needed. I used them some years ago and had a great time.
