Rally Driving is our passion at Extreme Driving.net Here's how we got here:
1989
Our Beginnings - operating in the United Kingdom.
We visited the UK when Corporate Entertainment was a boom industry and decided to stay.
1990
A business plan was established to create a RALLY DRIVING CENTRE very close to London & a suitable forest location was decided upon 23 miles due south of London.
RALLY SCHOOLS INTERNATIONAL was born. After a slow start – some clever marketing resulted in the business operating 7 days per week, and although it put considerable strain our tiny operation and the cars – our pure Passion & determination pulled us through. We introduced Go-Karts, Quad Bikes, Horse Racing, Helicopter Rides, Formula One Rides and Formula Fords.
1991
Take it to the people!- We found that by offering the landowners cash for use of their land and houses, we gained the ultimate Corporate Entertainment tool – a huge mobile non-stop adrenaline menagerie that travelled across the country from one end to the other - Word travelled fast!!!
Within the year of 1991, we were operating one mobile day per 3 weeks, catering for up to 100 people each time. All of these days were costed at no less than £600 per person, so each day’s gross profit was in the order of £60,000. The costs however, were HIGH, and the business was sold.
1992
We Returned to Australia, and to Perth specifically. FIRST TIME RACING rally school was set up in Gnangara in
Western Australia.
1995
NSW Bound -the final move was made to
New South Wales , where RALLY EXPERIENCE was born, which became Extreme Driving.Net.Located in The Hunter Valley area of New South Wales, a prestigious area containing over 50 wineries, only 1½ hours from
Sydney .
1999
Extreme Driving.net expanded into
Victoria .This expansion followed the achievement of once weekly operations in NSW by 1999. Our location is now in Seymour, 1½ hours from
Melbourne .
2000
We moved into
Queensland expanding Extreme Driving.net across 4 states.
2005
We then went onto moving into South Australia, at Tailem Bend.
At present and during the last 12 months, NSW has operated at least once weekly (quite often twice) and Victoria has operated 3 weekends out of 4. Queensland continues to lag behind with 1 day every 4 weeks. We have now also developed all our other products into winners, the most successful of which is the Armoured Personnel Carrier, which is an army vehicle similar to a battle tank, but with 6-wheel drive instead of tracks.
We also have V-8 Supercars operating in 3 states of , as well as Earthmoving courses in The Hunter Valley, NSW.
