What Can I Expect
Climb into the cab, grab that Yorkie bar and get truckin' on these fab lorry driving experiences at your choice of venue, with weekday, anytime, standard and extended vouchers available, with both DAF and Scania lorries in the fleet.
The DAF XF was built in the UK at Leyland and offers a very large 480bhp and amazing torque. The tractor (the proper lorry driver's term for the cab bit!) will be towing a full-sided curtain trailer, so you'll be manoeuvring a 55ft beast of a lorry on this off-road circuit.
The Scania is running a car transporter set up. Yep, many of the fancy cars you see at track days are moved around the country using this classic, open-sided, double-deck transporter. You need a lot of power to pound the motorways with such a precious load and even driving it empty, it takes all your concentration to manoeuvre this Scania!
You’ll instantly realise how comfy it is onboard, with air-suspension driver's seat, air conditioning and that elevated lorry driver's view of the road. The cab has a sort of wraparound console dashboard, so everything a long-distance trucker could need is to hand. So different to your usual car, just being in a truck is brilliant!
With a fully licensed lorry driver at your side, you'll be negotiating a course of cones and attempting a few reversing moves with your 'convoi exceptionnel' - and remember there's no rear view mirror in the cabs, it all has to be done using the side mirrors on the lorry. Have fun!
