Want a driving challenge with a difference? Then forgo the racetrack and go for our exciting Full Monty Military Driving Experience, which anyone over the age of 12 can book on to enjoy. An 432 Armoured Personnel Carrier, Abbott FV433, and a Stormer and Springer are just four of the vehicles available from a stock of over 80 that are on-site at the venue in Northamptonshire that you'll be driving. You'll also get a tour of the armoury, a survival talk and demonstration, plus you'll also get to take on some 17th century flintlock and mortar shooting, clay pigeon shooting and, depending on if you've emerged as the Best Driver of the day by the instructors score keeping, you will also get the chance to take part in the Car Crush in the Chieftain Tank as seen in the Fast and Furious film franchise! If you are looking for a unique activity day to do, and fancy bringing your friends or family along, then this is the day for you.
