RTE's Lyric FM visit Rallyconnection

RTE's Lyric FM joined us today to record the sounds of Rallyconnection for a new radio show called "Soundscapes of Ireland" to be aired later in the year. As soon as we are given the date for the show we will post it on line.

Great Reviews From Happy Clients Of Our Rally School

Thank you for a really fantastic experience at RallyConnection on 2nd May, I thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Your course is excellently structured to allow anybody develop in short time while having some serious fun. Your facilities and equipment are top class and the tea on tap is always welcome especially first thing on a Saturday morning. Please pass my thanks and appreciation to your team especially Kevin who was a very patient instructor (the gearbox in your escort was definitely not designed to take the particular punishment that I gave it). I will be recommending your school to all, and will be planning my own return visit to Rally Connection if only to master that handbrake turn for once and for all. In short, an amazing experience all round.
Mattie Dwane, Cork

Everyone had a brilliant day, both yourself and your instructors are a credit to your business. I will be telling all my friends about it, my brother is already talking about doing it again!! Thanks again for a wonderful time.
Nora-Ann O'Callaghan, Tralee

Had a great day out on saturday the 22nd of Nov.  I had the best day ever the whole experince was o god can't put it into words. So delighted with my time 1.07.06 on my time lap and bet some lads ha they got bet by a WOMAN. I will be talking about this for a long time. Thanks to every one their and to my instructer  all i want to do now is go faster but not on the roads in westmeath, too flat!!!!  Once again thanks for the best day hope to do it again some day.
Lorna Walsh, Westmeath

Anyway, my reason for going to Waterford was to go rally driving with www.rallyconnection.com - it was a FANTASTIC day out. I got to drive a Subaru Impreza and learnt to drift around hairpins ... what more could a girl want  I'd highly recommend them if you wanted to do something different for a weekend, or alternatively, it'd make a great present. All in all, a great weekend!
From www.boards.ie

I did the rally driving course with you on Saturday the 28th of Feb. I would just like to say it was a fantastic morning an all the staff were brilliant. Thanks again and I'll be back down soon.
Darren Daly, Dublin

I was down with you Good Friday. I had a great time. I always thought I'd love rally driving, but never thought I'd get to give it a try... but then the opportunity arose to go with ye. And I did love it! I really did. And I was surprised at how fast I went. I know I'm a good driver, but usually I'm quite cautious/safe out on the roads. I found you a great teacher, and I had confidence in your instructions, and that gave me the confidence to just go hell-for-leather!! (I'm not sure why, but you seemed to have confidence in me too!). It was nice to beat the two fellas too - as a girl, it's nice to be able to show them that we can drive well too! So... thanks a million.
Maria Long, Charleville 

Thank you so much for the thrill of my life (so far!) I thoroughly enjoyed the day, it was a first class event and probably the best present I have ever got! The instruction received from the two Mick’s was first class and the trip around the course afterwards was mind shattering! I never thought it possible to go so fast. I will be recommending you to my friends and hope to be back soon for another go!
Robert Pigott, Dublin

Just wanted to say thanks a million for Thursday last. I had an absolutely excellent time. I felt I went beyond my comfort zone although I know I have more to give. Whatever the outcome, I can safely say that I have had an awesome experience. You are doing a brilliant job down there. So thank you for providing me and lots of girls like me, the opportunity to step up to the challenging sport of rallying.
Amy Kirwan, Carlow

Just a few lines to say thank you for the best mornings fun, entertainment and education I have ever had, also many thanks to Kevin for his patience and excelent instruction also to tell him I am going to apply for the army deafness compensation as I could have swore he was telling me to go! go! when he was telling me to wo! wo! Yet again thank you very much and I look forward to visiting Rally Connection in 2008.
