February 18, 2021

Nestled on 600 acres, Team O’Neil Rally School provides a variety of driving courses open to the public year-round. Whether you’re brushing up on your winter driving skills or want to live out your Fast and Furious fantasies, Team O’Neil Rally School can help you with both. Buckle up, it’s going to be a fun ride!

About Team O’Neil Rally School

Located outside Littleton, New Hampshire, in the small town of Dalton, Team O’Neil Rally School was founded in 1997 by Tim O’Neil. Growing up in the White Mountains, Tim began racing rally cars in the 80s and won five production-based U.S. and North American Rally Championships. In 1997, he came home to the mountains and opened a driving school with the vision of building the best driving school in the world.

Today, Team O’Neil is the world leader in loose surface driver training. The private facility encompasses almost 600 acres with two 300-foot diameter gravel skid pads and a six-mile road course consisting of over 50 different types and combinations of corners, blind crests, and junctions.

A Course for Everyone

Team O’Neil offers a variety of driving courses ranging from one to five days. The single-day rally school course focuses on left-foot braking, weight transfer and eye placement, accident avoidance, and some turns in Ford Fiestas. Each day of the school builds on the prior day skills and you’ll have the opportunity to drive different vehicles, like Subaru Imprezas, 3-series BMWs. By the end of day three, you’ll have the opportunity to take longer runs on the open slalom courses and facility roads. After five days, you’ll experience mock rally races, turbocharged cars, and have perfected the Scandinavian Flick.

 Do you want the ultimate thrill? Sign up for the Drift Driving Course that will give you a crash course (without the crashing) on the sport of drifting. This two-day course takes place at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway and you’ll have the chance to learn the ins and outs of drift racing with Ford Mustangs and 3-series BMWs.

Team O’Neil also offers a more practical course, which comes in handy if you live in New England. The Winter Driving School is a single-day driving course that utilizes your own vehicle. Throughout the day, you’ll learn how your vehicle handles and reacts on snow and ice as well as potentially life-saving accident avoidance maneuvers. All driving courses start on select dates and require advance bookings to ensure your spot.

For the off-road enthusiast, Team O’Neil has something for you, too! Choose from private or team off-road experiences on 600 acres of fun. All you need is your own mid-sized SUV or pick-up trucks, and Team O’Neil will provide you with steep climbs, descents, varying degrees of side tilts, boulders, and more. The TrailCraft Trail Drives can be booked on any day.

Safety First!

When it comes to driving schools, safety is paramount. Team O’Neil takes safety seriously for both drivers and instructors. All courses are taught with a 2 to 1 student to instructor ratio to not only give you the most hands-on learning opportunity but also to ensure your safety. There is an instructor in the vehicle at all times and students are required to wear helmets and a four-point seat belt. Additionally, all vehicles that go beyond the slalom course have full roll cages.

The Vehicles

Team O’Neil has a fleet of over 70 vehicles and a few mechanics to keep them in tip-top shape for students. Depending on how many days you choose for your rally course, you’ll have the opportunity to drive multiple types of cars. Starting with the front-wheel drive Ford Fiesta on day one, you have the chance to drive a Subaru Impreza, BMW 3 Series, Ford Fiesta ST, or Subaru Impreza WRX.
