Yes. The terrain and the instructors can adapt to all levels. It’s the opportunity to discover ice driving and to learn a great deal courtesy of the intensive days (3 hours of driving per day). Watch our video to get an insight into the adventure: http://msdrive-laponie.com/en/video-2/
We limit the number of people to 20 to enable you to develop and progress quickly. There are two drivers per vehicle, which allows you to drive for 3 hours per day
We have prepped BMW 330 CI E46 with 253hp, all rear-wheel drive of course. High-performance vehicles, perfectly suited to Finnish rally tracks. Easy to get to grips with for beginners, but allows more seasoned drivers to test their limits. The vehicles are equipped with studded competition tyres (395 studs per tyre, 7mm protrusion). They can be driven at a high speed while maintaining a strong grip when braking and positioning the car
It is worth noting that, most of the time, you will be accompanied by an instructor. In the vast majority of cases, they can anticipate and rectify “mistakes”. However, nothing is foolproof and an incident can occur when you are driving. This is why we offer the Zen driving pass and the Zen + driving pass. This serves as comprehensive damage coverage. The Zen driving pass allows to limit the excess amount to €1500. The Zen + pass permits a damage waiver up to €500. If you select the driving pass without insurance then you will be responsible for actual damages in the event of an accident
