CO-DRIVER PROGRAM

DirtFish Rally School and OzRallyPro are excited to announce a Co-Driver Development Program!

Professional co-drivers Rhianon and Alex Gelsomino will lead this all-inclusive training, along with support from experienced DirtFish competitors.  The program will cover everything needed to develop a confident co-driver going into your upcoming rally season.

The goal is practical application, so each participant will experience the techniques in a real-world situation as often as possible. The first day will begin in the classroom, then will transition to time spent offsite in a recce car, learning the important tasks of the co-driver along with techniques for writing pace notes. The program continues on its second day, spent in rally cars driven by rally-seasoned DirtFish instructors, where your delivery of notes will be practiced at speed.
