4X4 Training course
You will have a chance to push yourself out of your comfort zone in a safe and controlled environment under the diligent supervision of our instructors, who will guide you through all the technicalities of going where no road goes. After this course you will be more confident participating in our 4x4 events in Latvia
Theory
This is where all the brain work happens: we start with the geometrical parameters of the vehicle, and how those affect driving on various terrains. We will assess your vehicle to establish what to expect in various scenarios, and what types of obstacles you may want to avoid. Next we move on the most important characteristics of a proper off-road vehicle: drivetrain, various types of suspensions, differentials, types of tyres etc. Up next - additional equipment: what are the current options, pros and cons of using particular items, and whether you will need them for your driving purposes. To wrap up, we move on to theoretical aspects of driving itself: how to drive safely over various types of terrains, all the do's and don'ts of getting where you were heading safely. As a lovely memento from this course you will get a work book with all the info we went over, in case your memory gets rusty over time.
Driving practice
Armed with newly gained wisdom, you will head to the obstacle course, where you will apply your knowledge in practice, under the watchful eyes of our instructors. Our favourite obstacles are: 37,5 degree ramp, axle twist, side slope, 30 degree gravel slope, real life forest track, and water obstacle. But there is more to it - come and see for yourself.
