What Can I Expect

Silverstone off-road driving - a proper challenge in a proper 4x4 vehicle! Your trusty steed for the drive is a Suzuki Vitara. This is no showroom dweller, this is a front-line fighter, complete with extended air intake and winch on the front grille.

The Silverstone team has certainly come up trumps when it comes to devising the ideal 4x4 circuit to maximise the off-roading fun. The course is divided into multiple intertwining sections, each with its own set of obstacles.

From going sideways and ramping it up impossibly steep slopes, to sliding back down them the other side, it's 'heart-in-the-mouth' stuff. Believe in yourself, believe in your Suzuki and do it. Of course, your instructor will be beside you at all times to encourage, give advice and get you round the course.

A highlight for many on this Silverstone 4x4 course is the see-saw. Brilliantly created out of a trailer, you'll be perched at 1.5m above the ground, trying to just give it enough gas to get on the thing without overshooting, then finding the pivot point to tip you gently over so you can drive off it.

And a little heads up for you. As you're driving through the water troughs, watch out for what's beneath you. You can't see anything, but they're filled with ruts and potholes to try and put you off balance. Let's just hope you don't stall. And whatever you do, particularly if there has been rainfall, don't open the doors, as the water may be at times up to the door handles…

With deep water, sticky mud and steep gradients, we think you'll love these Silverstone off road driving sessions. It's a really well thought out course and it's great to be using a vehicle that loves the rough and tumble of the real 4x4 world.  Are you up for it?
