Hyundai i20 WRC Co-drive experience

Won this in a competition, if you get the chance, do it. Unbelievable experience but too short really.

I've done this a few times (sat in a co-pilot seat, not this specific one), it's astonishing how a properly set up works rally car handles, well, everything so well.

Looks brilliant!

Hah driven some of that bit at like 15mph in a normal car and its judder, judder, judder, bump, bump, bump (pretty much par for the course for those kind of tracks anyhow) can't even imagine doing it at those speeds LOL.

For me this is the most impressive aspect of a proper rally car, how well their MASSIVELY expensive suspension absorbs those bumps, that and the ability to stop on gravel like a normal car would on dry tarmac.

Looks incredible! Do you have a link or info about how to book it? My girlfriend would love this.

I don't sorry, I won it

Edit: It was done through NthDegree Experiences. May be worth contacting them and asking.

Thanks. Unfortunately there's no mention of it on their site

That looks insane

Most impressive passenger ride I had was in an M-sport fiesta WRC car at M-sports test track.

As you said. It defies physics how it can stop and turn. Yet as you are sat right in the centre of rotation it feels remarkably calm like the driver is dancing with it. Thierry Neuville was driving.

Well they do what they are supposed to do very well

Exactly, that's what they're designed for

Yeah

Convo killer

I couldn't get over the fact that the faster he went the better it rode the bumps. It was almost smooth flat out... amazing.

Yeah, starts at Brenig, then through the forest to the west and where he comes back out onto the main road is just up the road from Alwen Reservoir, before following that wagon down to Brenig.

"that wasn't it?"

"Oh ****."
...
"O my god."
...
"Oh Jesus."

That looked like cracking fun.
