More and more people are interested in tank driving experiences these days and the growth in the market seems unlikely to slow down. If you are interested in learning about tank driving specifications, the instructors in charge of tank driving experiences are generally ex military and experts on the vehicles that they offer you the chance to be in control of. Should you be interested in how these vehicles work, you are therefore sure to find tank driving experiences both enjoyable and educational. Across the range of tanks that can be driven in the UK, the technical specifications vary substantially. There are a number of facts however that hold for pretty much all tanks available to experience in the UK.

All terrain Capabilities
Tanks of all varieties can handle just about any type of terrain. There are even a number that can drive through shallow water. The courses that tank driving experiences take place over are generally designed to ensure that such all terrain capabilities are pushed to the limit.
Fire Power
Sadly UK law prohibits tanks used in tank driving experiences to actually be able to fire missiles. As you can probably understand, there is good reason for this. What you may not be aware of however is that many of the tanks used in tank driving experiences have been modified to fire other less dangerous items. There are a number of tank driving experience companies that offer tanks that fire paintballs. Yes tank driving and paintball combined is just as much fun as you would imagine.
Speed
While tanks are known for their power and their all terrain capabilities, the chances of them breaking any land speed records is pretty unlikely. Most of the tanks that can be experienced throughout the UK have a top speed of under fifty kilometres per hour and that is on flat land. When going around an obstacle course with multiple bumps and terrains, you are more likely to be going at around thirty kilometres per hour. Few people find that this fact prevents the experiences from being thrilling all the same however.
Controls
Many people considering tank driving experiences are concerned about how difficult they are to control. Though it is certainly true that tanks take a long time to master, sufficiently understanding the controls well enough to drive one around the obstacle course is not too challenging. It is also worth noting that instructors accompany the driver at all times so you are free to ask for assistance whenever it is needed. They are also very much used to people being absolute beginners so you should never be afraid of asking something stupid.
