Get ready to make childhood dreams a reality with the ultimate tank driving experience in Leicestershire! This adrenaline-fueled adventure puts you in control of a real, turreted FV432 tank, delivering a thrill like no other. It’s time to swap the ordinary for extraordinary and take charge of some serious military machinery.
Your day kicks off with suiting up like a true tank commander—helmet and all—before heading to the track to meet your 15-ton beast. After a quick introduction to the FV432 tank’s history and a safety briefing, the real fun begins. You’ll be part of a three-person crew, and everyone gets a turn in the driver’s seat. So, gear up—it’s your time to shine!
Under expert guidance, you’ll learn the ropes of operating this impressive machine. The first lap lets you ease into things with the driver’s hatch open, giving you a clear view of the track and controls. But hold on tight, because for lap two, the hatch closes, and it’s just you, your instincts, and a whole lot of tank power as you navigate from within the beast.
The adventure doesn’t stop there! Your package includes access for you and two guests to explore a fascinating military vehicle museum, showcasing everything from a 1947 Bell 47G helicopter to a legendary M4 105 Sherman tank. Dive into history while surrounded by an impressive collection of wartime marvels.
As an added bonus, you’ll leave with a 10% discount voucher for your next booking, giving you even more reason to return for another round of unforgettable tank-fueled excitement. Don’t just imagine it—book your tank driving experience today and let the tracks do the talking!
