You can now drive the McLaren 570S coupe on closed routes in the Arctic Circle thanks to the supercar maker’s experience specialists Pure McLaren launching a new ice driving experience in Northern Finland. The Arctic Circle experience is scheduled for January 2017. Using 570S Sports Series models configured for snow and ice, it will give customers the chance to receive professional driver training on how to make best use of the 562bhp turbocharged V8 sports car in slippery conditions, by driving on a variety of specially created tracks on snow and ice surfaces. The drive team would even help you master a trick or two including the ‘Scandinavian flick’: a special drifting technique used by rally drivers in ice racing. Alongside these, Pure McLaren is also offering a husky safari and snowmobile expedition. Guests would get to stay in the Jávri Lodge – the former home of the president of Finland – where sightings of the Northern Lights are common. Bookings for the three-night trip can be made now and the experience will run from 15 January to 3 February. Both McLaren owners and non-McLaren owners are welcome at the experience, as are those who hold no driving experience. Prices start at £12,500 per person, which includes transfers to and from the airport and winter clothing. So are you all set to race?
