Been writing a feature about the
ice-driving season, which begins in northern Sweden straight after New Year. It
generally runs through to mid-March, by which time the frozen lakes aren’t
solid enough for people to have the confidence to put very expensive sports
cars on. I’ve been a couple of times and will happily confirm it’s about as
much fun as you can have on four wheels. There are several UK firms offering
trips to Lapland, and once there you get to drive everything from Lamborghinis
and Porsches to Mitsubishis and Subarus. One even gives you the chance to dance
across the ice in Petter Solberg’s 2008 WRC Citroen Xsara. For some operators,
it’s far more sophisticated than just scooting round a carved-out track. Treats
for the sideways enthusiast include inch-perfect full-size replicas of some of
the world’s most demanding race tracks, including Silverstone. How much fun
would that be?
