Discover the thrill of driving on ice with KALMAR’s Spirit of Speed, an adventure like no other in the heart of Finnish Lapland. With bespoke tracks, expert instruction, and some of the finest Porsches, this is the ultimate Arctic driving experience.

A Unique Arctic Playground

Located 150 km within the Arctic Circle, Spirit of Speed’s private facility offers pristine winter conditions. Three distinct driving surfaces – frozen lakes, marshland, and forest tracks – await, creating a dynamic and challenging environment. The combination of rear and mid-engine Porsches, fitted with tungsten-tipped WRC-spec studded tyres, guarantees optimal per on the ice.

Whether you’re sliding across a frozen lake or threading through forest stages, every moment is engineered for excitement.

Tailored Programmes for Every Driver

Spirit of Speed provides two key programmes: Arctic Control and Arctic Race, ensuring that drivers of all skill levels find the right challenge.

Arctic Control: Ideal for beginners or those looking to refine their skills, this programme focuses on vehicle control and confidence-building. You’ll master techniques to let the car glide with precision while developing a deeper connection to the road – or ice.

Arctic Race: Designed for more advanced drivers, this adds competition into the mix. Timed laps and rally-style stages on forest tracks push your skills to the limit.

Travelling with friends? The Arctic Team option lets groups (minimum eight participants) create a bespoke driving adventure, tailored to their preferences.

World-Class Instruction

Under the guidance of Spirit of Speed’s experienced team – many of whom hail from Scandinavia – you’ll receive personalised, one-on-one coaching. For the ultimate experience, former WRC champion Marcus Grönholm can even join as your instructor, offering insights that only a world-class rally driver can provide.

The focus isn’t just on technique but on ensuring every driver leaves with lasting memories. As they say, it’s all about “smiles-per-mile.”

Luxury Off the Ice

After a day of adrenaline-filled driving, unwind in a luxury villa in Levi, Finland. With top-notch amenities and a warm atmosphere, the accommodation ensures you can relax, recharge, and reflect on the day’s achievements. Just a ten-minute drive from Kittilä Airport, it’s both convenient and inviting.

Beyond the driving, optional Arctic activities – such as snowmobiling, husky sledding, and reindeer safaris – can be arranged to make your trip even more memorable.

Practical Details

Spirit of Speed experiences run from early January to February, spanning four days (two for travel and two for driving). Prices start at £8,223 (€9,911), covering everything except travel to Levi. Direct flights to Kittilä Airport are available from various European cities.
