What can I expect from Firle Beacon?
A Rally Paddock will invoke the sights and ambiance of a genuine ‘rally service area’.
Meanwhile, the over 2 mile rally stage demonstration course starting at the main gates will use estate roads, then exit the park via through the village and along the chalk road before ending with a fantastic climb up to Firle Beacon.
Marvel at the Supercar Paddock with the very best of modern supercars displayed, including alternative power model. Vehicles will be displayed and demonstrated over a standing quarter-mile sprint course four times a day on both days.
