Tankfest 2026 is over… what a fantastic weekend!
Massive thanks to an awesome team for making it such a great event. Getting to drive Deborah 2, the replica WW1 Mk IV tank, at The Tank Museum alongside my dad is definitely a memory that will stay with me for a long time.
The steering is now working flawlessly hours and hours of thinking, researching and making custom parts. Your’ll all see in a video very soon!
Now it's time to head home tomorrow… and then it's back to ChAVRE, ChAVRE, and more ChAVRE! 💪🚜
