Description

Experience the full capabilities of a true military beast with this rip-roaring tank driving experience in Leicestershire. Following a full safety briefing, suit up in official overalls and a helmet before hopping into a colossal military tank for a familiarisation lap provided by a qualified instructor. After getting acquainted with the tank controls, take over the reins and take it for two laps of the specially-designed course, first with the hatches open, then immersed in the control booth with the hatches closed. Finally, take a third lap and choose whether the hatch stays open or closed – with a challenging course, simulated battle conditions and full instruction, this tank driving experience is a must for any ardent petrol head.
