Classic Car Summer Festival

We're use PVC tyre sleeves to make drifting even more fun and even more skilful. Spend a great day behind the wheel of a slippery monster and try not to smile!

Enjoy this Russian behemoth in its natural off-road setting, Marvel at its ability to traverse the roughest terrain and then take the controls to make it a firsthand experience! 

200km of staged rallying on engaging country roads. Keep an eye on your map and clock as you approach the finish line and the smell of BBQ and drinks waft enticingly your way.
