Introductory Tank Driving
About the experience
This superb military themed driving experience puts you in control of a selection of real ex-services vehicles. You'll start in a 432 Armoured Personnel Carrier before taking the controls of a Supercat, a go anywhere, all-wheel-drive vehicle. You'll also get to go into the Armoury, where an ex-British Army sniper and mercenary will talk you through hardware like AK47s, MP5 machine guns and handheld grenade launchers, plus how to field strip a WW2 Bren gun. Then it's onto the big stuff! Take the chance to drive the Gvozdika, a fully amphibious tank that has played an important role in military history. As if that wasn't enough, the best driver of the day will also get to park a Chieftain Main Battle Tank on top of a saloon car! Have you got what it takes?
