Spoilers for Gothenburg 2017!
 

One of the 3 driving events I'm currently working on, Volvo ice driving school, currently unable to offer places, but will update.

I'll having a go at that ��

That's really got me interested.

Would be interesting to know whether it's possibly to take your own car to it. I know there will be the usual disclaimers about Volvo not being liable for damage, but assuming it's on a frozen lake in the North in Sweden during winter, there should be quite a lot of space around should you mess up!

Yes it is possible and I've seen some non Volvo days run that way £250 all day on the ice with use of the facilities

Looks like driving there will be expensive! So far I have calculated these approximate costs:

• Fuel: Driving to/from the School and fuel used during the event - £600
• Ferry from Dover to Dunkirk - £70
• Tolls for bridges in Denmark and Sweden both ways - £150
• Hotels - 3 nights each way and 4 nights at the School, based on average cost of £50 per night - £550

Thats £1,270. On top of that would be items/preperation for the car for the journey. I already have winter tyres but would need to purchase snow chains. I would also need additives for the brake/steering fluids to stop them freezing. Overall I could see it costing at least £1,500! :shocked:

That's why I'll be reverting to the current format to keep costs down so people can fly under £300 that way

I would be interested in the flying and it would be quicker and taking my 22 year 850 over there the insurance the recovery would be expensive.

Markas, there is an actual thread for next year started today
