What Can I Expect

Get your hands on a highway heavyweight when you go on a lorry experience! Big lorries are commonplace on our motorways, but what are they like to drive on a special track? This is your chance to find out with lorry drives at your choice of Tockwith or Abingdon circuits.

You will usually be driving a 45ft lorry with a trailer or a supercar transporter rig. And yes, before you ask, the operators make sure those precious cars are all off-loaded before you start your drive…

The lorries are just as you'd expect. Chunky and reliable, with comfy cabs for the drivers. It's a climb to get up there, but once you're at the wheel, you'll be sitting around 10ft above the ground, giving you a really good view of the road ahead. This helps lorry drivers to anticipate what's happening, which is handy as it takes a while to stop an 18-tonne lorry!

And setting off is a fairly slow affair in a lorry. You build up speed slowly and it becomes all about momentum. But these modern trucks make driving easy with fully automatic transmission. Simply put the transmission into drive and you're rolling.

As you negotiate the specially laid-out course, you'll get a proper feel of what it's like to be a lorry driver. Things will start getting tricky when you take on the slalom challenge. When do you turn in? Too late and you cut wide, too early and you make mincemeat of the cone. And when it comes to reversing, you'll instinctively be looking for the (non-existent) rear view mirror...but no, it's all done with the side mirrors!

For the lorry experiences you get to drive for around 15-20 minutes. If you've always wanted to be a trucker, this great value sessions is the ones for you!
