  • Master an 8.5 ton JCB
  • Race others to the finish with hands on training
  • At least two heats, then a final

Now this is the height of cool. Forget about Ferraris, on this experience you get to race a giant excavator - a vehicle that very few people get the chance to drive. After a safety briefing, you'll climb up behind the controls of an 8.5 ton JCB digger, capable of around 20mph (although when you're in the cab it'll feel a lot quicker). There's hands-on training and at least two race heats over a specially-designed course, including some challenges to complete along the way, with the fastest drivers going through to the grand final.

Locations:

Cullompton, Devon; Durham, County Durham; Strood, Kent

 

More information

Participant Guidelines: Minimum age is 17. You must hold a full driving licence (and bring it with you), but you don't need any other special licences or experience.
Weather: Driving may be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions like heavy snow, flooding or high winds, which would make it dangerous. Please call the venue if in any doubt.
Duration: Your experience will last for around four hours including a briefing, introduction to the JCBs, tuition, around 20 minutes driving time, debrief and presentation.
Numbers On Day: There will be up to 28 people taking part.
Spectators: This experience is great for spectators. Bring as many people as you like for the discounted Red Letter Days price of £10 each (payable on the day), which includes access to Diggerland Park. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Under 2s go free.
Dress Code: Bring a change of clothes and shoes/boots that you don't mind getting muddy or dusty. If it's raining, bring wellies and overalls if you have them (trainers are no good in the wet, you'll be slipping all over the place).
Availability: In Kent: weekend dates from March to November about once a month. In Durham and Devon: at least three time a year from May to October.
Other Info: Please note that if any participant appears to be unfit to take part due to alcohol, drugs or for any other reason, event staff reserve the right to stop them taking part.
