Spirit of Speed Arctic

Have you already attended mainstream automotive winter training courses in heavy new production cars standing on near road tires? Then it is surely time to experience the real deal, where you can push the specially prepared cars to their limits. Join our race inspired winter training with air- and water-cooled Porsches where all cars are fitted with real World Rally Championship tires!

The team of hand-picked mainly Scandinavian drivers provide bespoke and individual driving programs with 1 instructor per car and maximum 5 cars in total.

A perfect mix of advanced driving time, real ice and rally tracks becomes the ideal playground to challenge yourself and “your” rally inspired Porsche. Everyone can join, regardless of level of experience. Our trainings are one-to-one and highly personal – so no former experience is needed for any of our programs.

Spirit of Speed Arctic Control

Experienced or first time on the ice? Don’t worry, as this is fully individual, we start out slow and finish fast. If you are less experienced, we will start with a short introduction and then we aim for you to master the fine art of ice driving. Together with your instructor, you will design your perfect driving program with a combination of section training and full track driving to fit your individual skills and goals. Our unique intercom radio system makes communication with your instructor and co-driver easy and comfortable. For the more experienced – you simply say how fast you want to go… and we help you to get there.

​You will either be alone on the track, or the track will be so long that you won’t even see the other drivers… this is the only way for you to optimize your driving time.

Lots of driving time spiced up with our very special night-driving sessions are not to be missed, just as an optional tailor-made optional data acquisition system will add to our common goal of creating the perfect drivers’ paradise.

Spirit of Speed Arctic Race

Same as Arctic Control – but adding the next level. It is all about speed and excitement!

During the Arctic Control program we aim for “driving heaven” but it does not stop there! Here we add the stopwatch, we let you rally through the forest on long, hilly curvy tracks. The result is a real rally experience including pace notes – and you can race against your co-driver and the others in the group.

To achieve this goal – we don’t just tell you how to drive a stage, we teach you how to drive it as fast a possible – and let you push to and beyond the limit.
