The Experience
Bringing you the ultimate truck driving session to a venue near you! The chance to drive a duo of trucks; one American and one European. It’s going to be a brilliant transatlantic truck fest for you! This truck experience combines the best of the trucking world. There’s the all-American Peterbilt, which is rarely-seen sight in the UK, but one of the most popular trucks in the USA. Then there’s the Volvo FH460. You see trucks like these pounding the motorways every day, but this time it’ll be you who’ll be at the wheel of this true workhorse of the roads. The Peterbilt 379 is a flashy and out-there as you’d expect from a truck that rolls those long-distance, cross-county journeys across the pond. It’s got shiny chrome everywhere, that huge aggressive front grille, the long, long nose, those high double exhaust pipes reaching into the air, and, of course, air horns. Liveried like ‘Optimus Prime’ from the Transformers franchise. Surely, it's the ultimate truck to drive? Let's go trucking! Finish off with a High-Speed Passenger ride in our Championship winning race car with our very own Green Stig!
