You have to be 17, with a full driving license to be a rally driver at higher levels in the UK. You can driver on rallycross tracks, which are part tarmac, part mud/gravel tracks. But you won't be able to rally legally yet. You need to be 17 to do road rallies. I suppose you can go in a field somewhere... Co driver must be 12 years old or above.



There is a story on there about a 15 year old who made it happen.
