The celebrities were tasked with 3 skill tests:

  • The Abbot Course – Stuart, Georgia and Jenni went for a rough ride as they each jerked around the Abbot Course, testing their driving skills and navigating sinking mud, huge puddles and jarring drops. The Abbot Course is a track used for teaching people how to drive an Abbott Tank
  • The Swim – Battling the clock and the pressure and competition of their fellow tank drivers for the day, the celebrities used the Lance Armoured Vehicle to ‘swim’ through deep water testing their precision and efficiency at their new-found skills
  • The Knife Edge Balance – Stuart, Georgia and Jenni had to demonstrate extreme concentration to balance the front of a tank off a small ledge, ensuring they had the perfect equilibrium to ensure that the tank remained in a precarious position

Adding another degree of complexity to the challenge, the celebrities were interviewed by Forces Radio BFBS presenters Amy Casey and Jay James whilst attempting the Abbot Course section of the tank driving skills test.
