The Ice Driver Subaru Day

imprezaIn response to demand from the Subaru fans out there and with the help of our long time supporters Scooby Clinic, we’ve added a new package for this season.

The Subaru day concentrates in learning the skills needed to drive the Subaru Impreza Type RA on a frozen lake. If you’ve attended any Subaru events over the last couple of seasons, you’ll have seen the lightweight RA Spec Impreza that’s specially prepared for us by Scooby Clinic. The demands for ice driving are very specific and the guys built us a superb car that’s great fun to drive on the ice. On the Subaru Ice Driver days’ there will be no Ford Focus or Porsche 911, just the turbocharged Impreza. You’ll be part of a group of just three people sharing the car to ensure quality driving time and you’ll be taught by experienced Subaru race and rally drivers.

The aproximate schedule will be:

07.30 Smorgasbord breakfast in the dining room
08.15 Meet in hotel reception area to be taken for the Ice Driver briefing
08.45 Transfer to the driving lake by minibus
09.00 Exploratory laps of the ice in the Ice Driver cars, discovering the amazing levels of grip from the studded tyres and learning the techniques for driving on the frozen lake. Gain speed and confidence as your instructor coaches you on the techniques of ice driving.
12.00 Lunch at the hotel, or served at the lake depending on your preference
13.00 Back onto the ice for more Ice Driving and the chance to practise high speed driving skills
