FOR THE KIDDIES
FOR THE GROWN UPS
Jaguar Land Rover caters to its youngest fans with a selection of fun-filled activities including the Little Growlers track where kids up to 3 can drive (or be driven by remote control) in miniature electric F-TYPE sportscars. There’s also a pair of scalesized electric Defenders which children up to 10 can practice early adventuring skills by negotiating a dedicated off-road track.
There’s no better way to experience the exhilaration of a Jaguar or Land Rover than getting behind the wheel yourself. The full range of vehicle models is available for an array of driving courses all hosted by a team of skilled instructors from Tuesday to Sunday.
An indoor-outdoor play area offers the perfect distraction while parents enjoy grown-up activities, and features a jungle-gym, plush playground toys, games tables and soft AstroTurf ground surfaces. Child minders are on-site to look after kids from 9am to 4pm Wednesday to Thursday, and 8am to 5pm Friday to Sunday. For the young at heart, a pair of state-of-the-art driving simulators afford would-be racing drivers access to high-performance Jaguars on a selection of global race tracks where it’s possible to explore the absolute limit safely in digital format.
Jaguar experiences cover a range of driving disciplines from defensive driving, handling, skid control, slaloms and cornering. An irrigated 70-metre diameter Dynamic Steering Circle (skidpan) is on site for low-traction handling exercises, while a 185-metre long and 30-metre wide Dynamic Handling Platform will allow drivers to stretch the legs of various vehicles at higher speeds. If you’re pressed for time, a 90-minute taster experience is ideal to whet your appetite. If you’re looking to make a day of it, a choice of half- and full-day experiences will have your pulse racing at every chicane, cone and turn. Adventurous types can sample what Land Rovers are truly capable of on a variety of dedicated tracks and trails. These include the Kingsley Holgate Expedition Trail (3km of trail named as an homage to the longtime Land Rover friend and global ambassador Kingsley Holgate) or the Adventure park which features a number of man-made obstacles adjacent to the facility itself and in full view of visitors gasping in awe of Land Rovers and Range Rovers in extreme situations. Depending on the package, drivers will be exposed to different disciplines including dynamic handling, vehicle recovery and off-road driving to name a few.
