Matzker, the renowned 4×4 specialist, invites you to spend a full day driving not only the brand new INEOS Grenadier, but also a New Defender and a classic Defender.

Alternatively, you can bring your own 4×4 and put it through its paces in a controlled environment.

The course was designed by Hermann Bauer to thoroughly test off-road vehicles and push them to their limits in a safe environment.
