Extreme 4x4 Course Silverstone

View Details - More Information - Buy Voucher

See an iconic racing location in a completely new way with our off-road Silverstone 4x4 experience. Forget speed, this extreme course is all about power, balance and judgement, as you negotiate your way down steep drops, across rugged terrain and through deep water pools, all designed to test your driving abilities to the max.

For this 50-minute off-roading session you’ll be behind the wheel of a Land Rover Defender. The Defender lives and breathes off roading and with its 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder engine this is proper 4x4 that has really stood the test of time. Built to withstand most environments, you can take this tough 4x4 tiger anywhere on the Silverstone trail and it won’t let you down. 

This entirely man-made course has been constructed just for these 4x4 sessions on the perimeter fields of the Silverstone. A huge mound in the middle of the trail gives you not only a great view of this renowned track, but also some wonderfully steep descents. And if it’s been raining, it’ll be really muddy too! With a permanent water splash another course highlight, this superb route will show you just what the latest model of Defender is capable of.

These 4x4 driving sessions are a great way to build up confidence at the wheel and gain a new appreciation for how these all wheel drive vehicles cope and adapt to rough terrain. During your time in the driving seat, you’ll receive individualised tuition from one of Silverstone’s fully qualified 4x4 instructors. They’ll talk you through the finer details of driving technique, enabling you to manoeuvre these magnificent motors over rocks, logs, dips and hills like an off-roading pro.

This is the ideal gift for anyone with a can-do attitude who wants to learn more about driving in difficult situations. Suitable for drivers of all ages and abilities (as long as you’ve held a full license for over a year), our Silverstone 4x4 challenges can easily be revved up into a fun family day out or an axle-crunching competition between friends.

Action Packed 4x4 Activity Sussex

View Details - More Information - Buy Voucher
Three is the magic number when it comes to this wild and wacky 4x4 Sussex experience, where you drive a trio of off road vehicles. Not just your ordinary off road trek, this action-packed bumper selection of all-terrain vehicles sees you behind the wheel of a production 4x4, a special dirt-munching bespoke-built Landy and a mad caged buggy. The session starts gently, with the Sussex grounds offering a ‘Meadow Meander’ in a 4x4 Kia Jeep. There are slopes, mud and woodland obstacles to overcome and this is the ideal introduction to off-roading. Then we crank up the heat in a modified Land Rover Defender 90 for the ‘Jungle Run’ – ploughing headlong through thick undergrowth, catching glimpses of daylight as you rollick your way through the wilderness. Forget Sussex - it’s the Amazon Rainforest! For the grand finale, you’re bundled into a 4x4 trials buggy and it’s off to one of Sussex’s disused quarries for the ultimate off-road challenge. Too difficult for standard 4x4s to negotiate, this purpose-built, hair-raising and occasionally vertigo-inducing route includes driving along a stream bed and overcoming a 6ft drop that’s pretty much vertical. You need to complete the marked-out course making as few mistakes as possible – not as easy as it sounds! All sessions begin with a safety talk and a brief introduction to 4x4 driving. You’ll be accompanied by an experienced instructor from the Sussex centre at all times, who will guide you through the technical difficulties of off-roading, as well as ensuring you don’t make any major mistakes.  For the duration of the activity you’ll be with a maximum of two other people to make a group of three. You all get equal time driving the 4x4 vehicles, but if you’d rather be with people you know, get a couple of friends or family members involved and turn the day into a friendly competition. The entire course lasts around two hours, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to put your new skills to good use. This is a brilliant and engaging way of introducing 4x4 driving to novices, with bags of excitement and tricky obstacles requiring all your nerve and determination. Because of the stepped levels of difficulty, this is great for experienced drivers as well as anyone wanting to improve their on- and off-road confidence. Get yourself in gear for this 4x4 Sussex session and be prepared for not one, but three bumpy rides!
