    MEET THE TEAM AND YOUR VEHICLES

    The team of instructors accompanying each trip have been trained and certified under the JLR Global Experience program. They are professional, dedicated and vastly experienced in the fields of on and off-road driving as well as event management and risk mitigation.

    Helping you navigate the tough tracks and trails is the Defender 110. A supremely capable SUV that features a full suite of off-road technology, paired with an Ingenium 4-cylinder 2.0 l P300 powertrain. The instructors will ensure you quickly get to grips with its technology.

    You’ll be in charge, commanding the vehicle on your own; but travelling in a convoy and always with the instructors close at hand to help you navigate any unfamiliar features or turns.

    " The Defender was not just our vehicle, but our companion and our home on the road, helping us munch miles without breaking a sweat. "
