Car Paintballing, the Latest Trend In the Pursuit of Adrenaline

Who hasn't dreamed of having his own tank, driving an shooting at the enemy like in video games, only to be disappointed when finding out that the tracked vehicles have a large crew of skilled men doing specialized tasks.

Fortunately, driving a car and shooting paintballs at someone is not only safer, but also less complicated, as the pastime, which involves slamming your foot down on the accelerator of an off road car whilst firing a paintballing gun from the bonnet, is rapidly becoming a hobby for those in the pursuit f adrenaline.

This original new sport was trialled by car-maker Chevrolet in the UK to mark the launch of their new all action 4 x 4 model for the market: the Captiva.

The activity involves attaching a paintballing gun to the bonnet of the car which is then operated by a passenger who is able to fire paint filled bullets at various well positioned targets whilst the driver skids around the carefully designed course.The gun is operated by a remote control from inside the car where the passenger can position and aim the gun ready to shoot.

“The new Captiva is all about action and is perfect for anyone in search of a bit of an adventure – although despite our activities at the launch we would not endorse any daring driving manoeuvres outside the car paintballing arena! We hope our unique launch will appeal to active families who want to stand out from the crowd,” said Zoe Lavender from Chevrolet UK.
