Lorry Driving Experience

Step into the driver's seat of a true road giant with our exhilarating lorry driving experience! Have you ever wondered what it feels like to control an 18-tonne lorry? Now is your chance to find out. This unique experience allows you to maneuver a bit of highway heavyweight on a specially designed track!

You'll start your day at one of our exciting locations: either the dynamic Tockwith circuit or the scenic Abingdon track. Under the guidance of skilled instructors, you'll learn essential driving techniques, from mastering slalom courses to perfecting tricky reversing maneuvers. The thrill of piloting a lorry is an experience like no other, combining skill, concentration, and a real sense of achievement.

As you navigate the circuit, feel the power of the 18-tonne vehicle at your fingertips. With fully automatic transmission, you'll focus on the excitement of driving without worrying about complicated gear changes. This is not just about driving; it's about embracing the adventure and gaining a new perspective on these behemoths of the road!
