Get ready for an exhilarating day of driving that you won't soon forget! Your adventure begins near Lutterworth, where you'll climb behind the wheel of a real fire engine.

Picture yourself navigating through challenging landscapes, taking command of heavy utility vehicles and robust tanks. It’s a true driver’s paradise!
As you conquer the track, you’ll uncover the immense power these vehicles possess.
