The Buggies:
These cars have a powerful 400cc engine linked to an automatic gearbox, in a chassis with a full roll-cage and all-round spring suspension making them very forgiving for the first-timer and a lot of fun for everybody. There are only two pedals for stop and go. It's just driver and machine against opponents and terrain, leaving you to concentrate on steering your way around the challenging circuit in front of you.

The Race Format:
The initial instruction and safety briefing is followed by a couple of practice laps to get the driver used to the track. Each driver then competes in 4 timed races of 7 laps each, with 4 buggies competing in any individual race (the middle 5 laps in between a warm up lap and a warm down lap). To prevent a mass pile up on the first corner, each kart sets off a split second after the previous kart (all karts will have left the start line within a couple of seconds each other). To allow for any slight differentiation in kart performance, each driver swaps karts at the beginning of each race, so every driver will have driven in each of the karts in 1 race. A grand final is then set up for the fastest drivers from the pre-final race heats, with a bottle of bubbly for the winner. 

The Track:
The track is specifically designed to get the most out of the buggies while providing extreme racing in a safe environment. The dirt track incorporates bumps, humps, banked corners and jumps (where catching air is part of the game).

Overview:
There's nothing like getting behind the wheel of a thunderously fast off-road kart, strapping yourself in, and spraying chunks of mud and grass all over your pals as you scream across the chequered line onto the track, while you laugh maniacally at your new-fangled speed machine's raw power.

There's plenty of open spaces at this hotel resort, where you can let rip with the throttle as you navigate your way round a set course. Hell, make it a competition - time yourselves - Captain Slow buys the first round! (No, not you, James May. Go back to TopGear.)

***** A+ Activities *****

Rage Buggy Time Trials
Featured on BBC Two's Top Gear and voted the best off road vehicle, these amazing machines are the Formula 1 of buggies. They are run on time trials - whilst one person is going around the track the next person is waiting in the pits to jump in as soon as the existing driver returns. Team mates can help in getting the drivers in and out of the rage buggies as soon as possible. The best time of the day wins.

Quad Trek
You'll get a bike per person, tuition from a qualified instructor and exhilaration all the way on this quad safari. The cross-country trek through a quarry, across streams, and up and down hillsides is seriously fun and satisfyingly testing.

Powerturns
With independent front suspension, two Honda 6.5 HP Engines (200cc each), balloon back wheels, bicycle front wheels, twin seats and independent lever steering, driving the Powerturn is a bit like riding a rodeo bull on wheels. Communication between the pairs of drivers is essential to complete this course in the best possible time.

4x4 Off Road Adventure
Experience the thrill of driving a 4x4 around a demanding course in a skill test that requires patience and nerve. You'll be attempting daring manoeuvres that seem impossible - driving up very steep muddy slopes, careering into axle-breaking ditches and more - it's nerve wracking, sensational fun.

Blindfold Driving
The driver of the 4x4 vehicle is blindfolded and has to negotiate a coned course with the help of directions from the
