Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re looking to hire a race or rally car, we know you’ll have a lot of questions – we’ve been there! Here are some answers to questions we get asked a lot. If your question isn’t here, we’re only a phone call away.
This is totally dependant on what you’d like your package to include, but to give you an idea we can provide an arrive-and-drive package in the iconic Peugeot 205 GTI for as little as £1350.
We want you to get the most from your experience, so our hire packages include insurance for if the worst happens. This means you can concentrate on your stage or lap times, leaving us to take care of everything else. Of course, a reasonable amount of wear & tear and the odd battle scar are to be expected. Our mission is to get you to the finish, and our experienced team of mechanics do not give up easily!
We pride ourselves on a fair approach to car hire. Our cars are always prepared to the highest standard, so while we rarely see mechanical issues, there’s always a chance parts can fail. Every situation is different, but let’s just say we’ll leave you feeling glad you chose to go rallying with Spark, and looking forward to the next time.
If you don’t have your own safety equipment, we can include a cost for hiring everything you need, or we’re happy to put you in touch with one of our trusted suppliers for them to advise on buying race gear to suit your budget.
We’ll happily prepare one of our cars for you to collect and return to us after the event. We’ll just need you to fully insure the car, and we may need a damage waiver but this will all be discussed up front – no mystery!
This is a big yes – friends and family are a huge part of the sport, and we’ll happily host your group if the event allows spectators. We can even include a cost for part or full hospitality, with a buffet and drinks/snacks throughout the event. For non-spectator events, we can often include a small number of people within our service crew.
This is music to our ears – we love nothing better than getting new people into motorsport. We’ll happily provide advice on every aspect, from getting your first motorsport licence through to getting the right safety equipment, and even provide professional driver tuition if you really want to be prepared for action!
If your budget allows, we’d always recommend doing a pre-event test to get used to the car. It’s a great way to get up to speed, and also meet the team who will be supporting you on the event. We approach our tests the same way as an event in terms of preparation and on-event support. However, without the pressure of competition, we’ll make sure you have plenty of fun in a relaxed environment.
Yes – we have a partner who designs and produces the liveries on our cars so we can provide a cost for decals or even a full wrap if required. We’re happy to discuss you arranging the work yourself too – just ask!
Of course! We’d be delighted to welcome you to Spark Developments HQ, introduce you to some of the team and let you have a look round / sit in the car to familiarise yourself with things. We can even put the car under a cover and let you unveil it for your TikTok if you so wish!
If you would like social media, photos or videos producing during your event, we will happily put you in touch with people we trust to provide you with a top notch service!
