Quite a lot of concrete there !
Normal rule of thumb
4inches for cars
6 inches for lorries
9 inches for solid wheel vehicles eg fork lift trucks

A good foundation, a layer of sand and 4 inches is fine. Whatever you do do not power flaot the concrete if it is outside - becomes a skating rink when wet !
