FAQ
-
Can anyone go and offroad at your training grounds?No. The training grounds are solely for training and are not recreational offroad grounds where anyone can enter and offroad. From time to time we do open up for open track days but that is a ticketed event with prior intimation and supervision.
-
What is the Skills Certificate option?When we train people from industry, they need to give a written and practical exam as well as per their training needs. Recreational offroaders are only given a participation certificate. Due to demand from folks who want to test themselves we introduced the certificate to everyone as an optional exam. The Skill certificate exam happens at the end of your course and consists of a written and theory exam. The syllabus is from what was taught to you and you need to score 80% in practicals and 70% in theory exams to earn this certificate. It's easy as long as you follow common sense and safety protocols. Having said that, not everyone one passes!
-
Can 2WD SUVs perform on your property?At the current state, the 2WD cars can only go on the main trail and that too in the dry season only. We are looking at possibly adding a 2WD track in the future.

Do you offer vehicle insurance for offroad?No. Currently we do not offer any kind of vehicle or personal insurance and the course is entirely at your own risk. You need to sign an indemnity and release form before the course.

Can we avail a 4x4 vehicle from you?Yes, we currently have a Mahindra Thar CRDE that you can avail for training at an additional cost. However, we still prefer that you learn on your own vehicle and the one that you would be offroading with. Every vehicle has different dimensions and angles and different driving styles. You need to get used to driving with your own type of vehicle to understand it's nuances.
