You start under a bright Anatolian sky, engines ticking as your guide runs through safety checks. The first turn spits you onto a sunbaked track and the scent of pine pushes in through the roll cage; the buggy shudders up a rocky incline, then drops into a riverbed that dares you to pick up speed. Over the next two hours you’ll alternate between slow, scenic sections and wide-open runs where mud and sand flick off the wheels.
