Customer Reviews
“Bucket List ticked”
Always wanted to drive a Big Rig, thanks to a birthday present from my wife, that box now has a big tick in it. A very well run event #carchaseheros.
“Fantastic!”
Brilliant day... instructors were great. Checkin in was organised chaos and sales pitch for damage waiver and spectators all extra. (Optional!)
“Truck driving”
The guys were very patient explaining how to drive these "Monsters!" I loved every minute of the drive, although I thought the track should have been longer. It was chaotic when booking in and very difficult to find out where we had to go. Could have done with better signs. Would have been nice if my family could have been able to see me driving.
