A buggy for all terrain

Buggies - no, not the type you stick a baby in, we're talking proper dirt buggies that are low on weight and high on fun. The new buzz word for these sort of mini motoring machines is multi terrain vehicle . It’s a totally apt description, as a buggy like this is as at home on tarmac as it is on rutted mud tracks.

Pared down, back to basics buggies

In fact, the key to these experiences is the buggy itself. Small and super light, makes them agile and speedy.  As you browse this section, you'll notice some of them are single seaters, others are two seaters. None of them have much of a roof to speak of (it’s all about weight-saving roll cages). And doors? Well, you can forget them too.

Madcap Apache rally buggies

The largest vehicle out on the track is the Apache Rally - a six-speed, side-by-side configured two seater. And, believe us, you'll need that second seat to be filled, so you can counterbalance the uber light construction. 

That's because this baby has a 750cc motorbike engine onboard which is pretty feisty to say the least. Oh and it's also useful to have the instructor sitting next to you to give you hints on how to tame this beast.

Superfast Rebels

The Rebel karts are the niftiest out of the blocks. These little solo buggies are as agile as they come, with just two turns putting on full lock. It's also rear wheel drive, so sliding around those corners is pretty much obligatory in this thing.

Most Rebel experiences take the form of time trial races and it's strictly non contact - these are buggies and not dodgems! Take a look at the Apache rally buggies in action in Dorset to see what you're letting yourself in for!

British designed and built buggies at their best

Gemini off road buggies are British-built buggies with a 400cc Honda engine onboard and rack and pinion steering, so they boast top handling.They boast a head height roll cage, a four point harness…and not much else. In the Geminis you'll be properly open to the elements so expect to get dirty!

Another UK designed and built multi terrain monster is the Rage Buggy. Available in both single and tandem versions, you will love the aggressive styling. Again they are kitted out with motorcycle engines, so expect ridiculous amounts of torque and a launch speed that's sure to take you by surprise.

Perhaps just as well they have full racing five point harnesses, gas charged dampers and double wishbone suspension, otherwise it'd be a very bumpy ride at those sorts of speed.

Racing, pursuits, practice & more in the buggies

Whether you're off on a safari-style trek, getting lap time practice in, competing in time trials or a pursuit challenge (where all riders are in a staggered start), we think these buggies are great fun to drive.

Remember, it's a non-contact motorsport, but with all the mud, dust and noise it's certainly going to be a thrilling race. Helmets on and foot to the floor, the dirt buggies are ready to race!
