The Land Rover Experience Centre is celebrating both its second anniversary and the New Year by unveiling its latest obstacle, which has been dubbed the ‘Peanut’.

The ‘Peanut’ is an omnidirectional obstacle that demonstrates the capability of many aspects of the vehicle like the active traction systems, suspension articulation, tensional rigidity and side-slope adhesion.

The obstacle has been professionally designed to provide the ultimate in-car experience for drivers whilst putting on a thrilling show for spectators.  The Peanut takes the total number of natural and manmade obstacles to 33, allowing guests to experience the capabilities of the marque’s vehicles in exciting terrains whilst assessing the driving environment and most importantly developing their driving skills.

Yazid Mourad, brand manager of Euro Motors Jaguar Land Rover, said: “It gives me great pleasure to announce the introduction of a brand new obstacle to the Land Rover Experience, which will thoroughly put the incredible Land Rovers to the test.

“Ever since the launch of the Land Rover Experience at the BIC, we have consistently strived to provide an exclusive journey to all our loyal customers. With the introduction of the new obstacle we endeavour to reinvent and expand our offerings to our customers while providing them with the opportunity to test the capabilities of our brilliant vehicles.”

Furthermore, to celebrate the second anniversary of the centre, Land Rover’s exclusive distributor Euro Motors will host a two-day celebratory event of free sessions for VIPs, media representative, local and regional owners, as well as fans, on February 17 from 3-9pm, and on February 18 12-6pm.

Yazid added: “With the vehicles used at the centre undergoing absolutely no modifications or performance upgrades, we at Euro Motors Jaguar Land Rover have complete elief in the fleet to consistently perform with the degree of excellence that is synonymous with a Land Rover. “This level of consistency, coupled with the quality of trainers and their highly certified nature makes the Land Rover Experience the ultimate destination for motoring enthusiasts all over the region. With the second anniversary of the Land Rover Experience Centre approaching fast, it is only appropriate to have a major addition such as the eanut’ to reflect the significance of the occasion
