The Program
Spirit of Speed Arctic
Have you already attended mainstream automotive winter training courses in heavy new production cars standing on near road tires? Then it is surely time to experience the real deal, where you can push the specially prepared cars to their limits. Join our race inspired winter training with air- and water-cooled Porsches where all cars are fitted with real World Rally Championship tires!
The team of hand-picked mainly Scandinavian drivers provide bespoke and individual driving programs with 1 instructor per car and maximum 5 cars in total.
A perfect mix of advanced driving time, real ice and rally tracks becomes the ideal playground to challenge yourself and “your” rally inspired Porsche. Everyone can join, regardless of level of experience. Our trainings are one-to-one and highly personal – so no former experience is needed for any of our programs.
Spirit of Speed Arctic Control
Since this program is fully individualised, don’t worry about your prior experience. Whether you’re a first-timer
or have extensive driving experience, we start at your level and progress quickly. If you’re less experienced, we’ll begin with a short driving introduction before heading to the tracks, where you’ll soon master the fine art of ice driving. Together with your instructor, we’ll design your perfect driving program, combining section training and full track driving to match your individual skills and goals. Our unique intercom radio system ensures easy and comfortable communication with your instructor and co-driver. For the more experienced, simply tell us how fast you want to go, and we’ll help you get there.
The program includes lots of driving time, enhanced by our special night-driving sessions, and an optional data acquisition system to help create the perfect driving experience. Arctic Control is a 2-day program, but we also offer 1-day or 3-day programs upon request.
Spirit of Speed Arctic Race
Like Arctic Control, but with the added option of competition. It’s all about speed and excitement, without sacrificing fun. Whether you choose Arctic Control or Arctic Race, our goal is to deliver “driving heaven”—and it doesn’t stop there! At Arctic Race, we introduce the stopwatch and let you rally through the forest on long, hilly, curvy tracks. The result is a true rally experience, complete with pace notes, allowing you to race against your co- driver and others in the group. To achieve this, we don’t just tell you how to drive a stage; we teach you how to drive it as fast as possible, pushing you to and beyond your limits.
Spirit of Speed Arctic Team
Everything is planned around you and your group. Before you arrive, we create a tailor-made program designed to fit your desires. The sky’s the limit—challenge us, and we’ll deliver!
Arrival Day
Arrive individually at Kittilä Airport, where Levi, the largest ski resort and winter playground in Finnish Lapland, awaits you.
Our team will meet you at the airport and shuttle you to your luxurious nearby villa. Take your time to acclimate to the Nordic surroundings—you’ll have time to explore the winter wonderland or relax in your villa, equipped with a hot tub and sauna, especially if the journey was challenging.
The team will host a briefing on ice driving techniques, covering the most important factors for achieving full car control, followed by a local welcome dinner. Be sure to rest up before the action starts tomorrow.
Driving Day 1
After an early breakfast, the team shuttles you 1 hour through the most amazing winter landscapes, and the goal is the driving area where a unique combination of ice and rally tracks awaits you.
Before you enter the rally area, a seat fitting and introduction to the cars will take place to ensure your comfort while driving in the coming days. Finally, a full day of training customized to your skills, abilities, and goals! You’ll start with section training to get to know the cars and tires, followed by full-track driving.
After seven hours on the tracks, we’ll shuttle you back for a well-deserved rest before serving a local dinner. For the Arctic Race option, we’ll also prepare pace notes and hold a rally briefing.
Driving Day 2
After an early breakfast, it is time to head back to the driving area for more intensive and customized ice driving. Today we enter new and more demanding tracks, and the intensity increases as much as you can handle – we have tracks for all driver levels.
For the Arctic Race option, you can opt for the full rally experience with a full-timed session just like a real winter rally. Long stages and maximum adrenaline. If timing is not for you then keep practicing and enjoy this driving nirvana. Tired but full of adrenaline after 6 hours of active driving, it’s time for a farewell dinner.
Hidden from tourists, an authentic restaurant with only one table and one reservation per evening prepares a 6-course dinner just for you. Local ingredients are used as extensively as possible.
Enjoy the dinner while sharing all the great driving moments from the past two days. As we return to the villas, it’s time for farewells.
Departure Day
Breakfast is enjoyed before it’s time to pack up the memories and head home. When the time comes, we will shuttle you to the Airport. Thank you for joining us on our winter adventure and see you next year!
Driving Area & Accommodation
Driving Area & Locations
We are proud to have our new “own” location not having to share the area or even tracks with other drivers. Our area is located remotely based in a former iron mine. And of course, with ice-cold and arctic temperatures guaranteed. Uniquely we can finally offer all 3 driving surfaces. Lake, marshland, and rally hard-land tracks. We have designed the tracks ourselves so there is a wide selection of layouts, widths, and speeds on offer. 3 km2 should be enough for only 4-5 cars driving at any given time.
Our Villas are in Levi, Finland. A popular and vibrant winter sports and ski resort in Northern Lapland and located 150 km north of the Arctic Circle. Famous for the World Cup alpine skiing season opener every year. Despite being located so far north, Kittilä Airport is reachable with a direct flight from Helsinki, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, München, Frankfurt, Paris, Manchester, London, Milan and Riga.
The Villas are only a 10-minute shuttle from the airport but can be extended if you do your own shuttle on snowmobiles! The driving area is located close to the Swedish border and the shuttle time can be used for a bit of extra rest before the action starts and surely to get the adrenalin levels down at the end of the driving days. The very demanding and challenging ice and rally tracks will become the battlefield and playground for you and reward you for building up skills whilst flying fast and sideways
through the Lappish Forest.
A small coffee hut will be the center of the action, and lunch will be enjoyed in a small nearby restaurant.
Accommodation
Our specially selected accommodation Levi Spirit is the pure definition of Arctic luxury and comfort. Here you are having your own private space not found in an ordinary business hotel. It is not only our team, cars, and tires that are top class – also your overnight stay becomes an experience. You and your fellow “rally drivers” will enjoy the Spirit of Speed in the Levi Spirit Villas. Many stories are surely being told at the dinners. We offer a full-service memorable stay that is not found elsewhere.
The spacious area of the about 460 sqm Villa offers open lounge areas to relax, sit together, chat, and exchange experiences and impressions after a long day of intense ice driving. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces, sauna, and hot tub all-inclusive. Of course, team spirit is guaranteed but each customer will have the exclusivity of a private room with en-suite bathroom to secure privacy.
