What could be better than driving your favourite 4×4 through the forests surrounding Ehreshoven Castle which is situated approximately 30 km East of Cologne.

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.

• and more

No matter if you are an experienced driver or a novice, you will have the opportunity to navigate along a challenging trail and compare the INEOS Grenadier, the New Defender and its predecessor, the classic Defender.

Your instructor will introduce you to all the off-road features of each vehicle and explain how to read the terrain, prepare to overcome the obstacle and select the appropriate equipment respective different off-road conditions.
