TRAX Driving Experience Sussex

An ex-military vehicle driving experience in either an FV432 or a diesel converted Alvis Stalwart! The maximum weight is 20 stone (127kg).

We hold driving experience days which are on pre-designated dates throughout the year (currently this is one weekend a month) where we offer different levels of an experience either 1-1 driving with an instructor or even just a ride around our track with the instructor driving! We will endeavour to announce each date as soon as it is confirmed to allow bookings to begin. The vehicle we use is an F

V432 MKII which has been in use with the British Army for many years. This vehicle is still in service, although updated and is currently known as the Bulldog. As this is a large tracked vehicle, some restrictions inevitably apply. We unfortunately cannot allow drivers under the age of 18, and a minimum age for passengers is 10+. The entrance and exit of the vehicle is through a hatch, so being agile and medically fit is required to be able to pull and lift yourself in and out of the vehicle. Due to the dimensions of this vehicle, certain restrictions may apply. The minimum height required to drive is 4ft 6”, and the maximum height is 6ft 8”. We aim to cater for everyone so please feel free to pop us a message if you have any queries and we will do our best to help! All participants and spectators on site will be requested to sign a disclaimer before taking part and spectating. Anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a parent or guardian sign on their behalf. Failure to complete a disclaimer will unfortunately mean not being able to take part in the session. Any queries, please message for more details! Terms and conditions apply, these are available upon request. We offer either a Taster Driving Experience at £75.00 or a 1 hour driving experience at £149.00 per hour where you will go into more depth on how to drive the vehicle and how it works! Both are 1-1 driving experiences with an instructor. All slot times and actual drive times are approximate. We also offer a 1 lap ride only around the track (driven by instructor) for £50.00. We aim to cater for all abilities, however please bear in mind we are situated in a woodland/farmland environment and the vehicle design may not be accessible to everyone. Please contact us with any specific requirements or queries and we will be pleased to help! All bookings must be pre-paid by BACS and please note these slots are scheduled and so we will not be able to move slots during the day! To book, just send us a message or email containing your driving experience preference and date and we will get back to you as soon as possible with availability! PLEASE NOTE

This is a mechanical machine, and failures can and will happen. We will do our upmost to prevent any problems however if we have a major breakdown that is out of our control on or just before the day, we may have to cancel at very short notice. If this does happen we will offer either a rebooking or a full refund. For more information please request/read Terms and Conditions. We hope to see you very soon!

Back in July we had the pleasure to have a private booking for an 87 year old veteran of the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment.

Sat as a passenger in the commanders position around our track, he thoroughly enjoyed being “taken back to his service days”.

Mike had lots of stories to tell about his time in service and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to them!

Another really enjoyable part of what we do! 😊

What fun in the rain 🤦🌧️ After a busy few days, we’ve run up the pack outside the machine to check everything we’ve done and for any obvious leaks before refitting in the vehicle!

Almost done for the first day of this weekends event!! 💥 Here’s a (sped up!) snippet of our FV432 driving round a section of our track down at SHOTS Sussex Home Of Target Shooting last event, fingers crossed we get some lovely weather like last time! We have some availability left for our next event in March, so if you want to join in the fun yourself or give as a gift to someone, just send us a message! Music credit to: Magna - With You feat.
