Chris Birkbeck Rally School

Chris Birkbeck Rally School is a family-run driving school established in 1990 offering tuition and high-speed instructor runs on a purpose-built rally stage at Low Farm, Brotton. Sessions use Subaru rally cars on mixed loose gravel and tarmac with features like yumps and hairpins.
