That is what they do every now and then in Northern France, and it looks like some of the most fun, and possibly painful, experiences you can have powered by petrol. Fun because, well, it’s powering quad bikes as fast as you can around a course that’s pretty much specially designed for this kind of thing, so there’s very little to argue with there.
Painful? Well, imagine driving at 85mph into the sand that’s been kicked up by other bikes. Unless you wear some kind of face covering you’re probably about to get the best facial scrub of your life.
