What Can I Expect

Mad Max 4x4. Offroading, but not as you know it! Inspired by the spectacular vehicular beasts from the Mad Max films over the years, this is maxed out 4x4ing that'll really test your mettle to see if you're as brave as the police officer of the future, Max Rockatansky.

This Mad Max-style 4x4 is actually a Land Rover. But it's like a Land Rover on steroids. The ground clearance defies belief, the tyres have the most incredible tread you'll have ever seen and there's a hefty winch. A row of blindingly-bright LED floodlights to light your way in the gloom of the post-apocalyptic world and even roll bars on the outside of the doors. Yep, this is that sort of 4x4 vehicle that wouldn't look out of place in an action movie.

You'll be carrying out your special ops-style mission in a choice of two military locations. In Oxfordshire you're on land that was formerly RAF Abingdon (and is still active as Dalton Barracks), following in the tyre marks of many a soldier in training.

So strap yourself into the rumble seat and prepare to tackle the impossible. Channel your inner Mel Gibson (or Tom Hardy for newer Mad Max fans) and take on everything these 4x4 test tracks can throw at you and your modified Landy. It might not be the dystopian lands Down Under of the Mad Max films, but even quiet Oxfordshire have their fair share of challenging 4x4 terrain you know!

Thankfully your Mad Max 4x4 won't be bristling with weapons to fight crazed baddies of the future, but this of brute of an off roader will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat, as you tackle your very own Fury Road. Let's see if your session driving a beefed up mad Max 4x4 takes you Beyond the Thunderdome! Good luck.
