Anyone for advanced driving lessons?

Juha Kankkunen’s ice-driving academy? How much would I like to do this? Loving the banal corporate feel, except with sideways R32 4×4 (well, Haldex anyway) Golfs all over the place. I’ve only put this video up because at 40-seconds-ish the man is four-wheel drifting on ice with all four wheels pointing the same way… “Fast, fun and Safe”. Maybe for you Juha…

    A legend indeed and, as Tom points out, that drift at 40 ish seconds is mental!

    i think a subaru s202 or a ford sierra cosworth would make the fastest lap time around your track because in birmingham we have got cars that are faster than the cars that you put on your track

    Fantastic. It looks so graceful and effortless, which just goes to show how much work goes into it (if I tried it, there wouldn’t be any snow left as it would all have melted in the subsequent raging fireball of death…)

    i had done this school before my snowboard trip last month. unintentional 4 wheel drifts in a ff car are ludicrous. but at least, like Juha here, i kept it on the ice, not the ditch. the same can’t be said for the prius that was maybe 2 minutes ahead of me.

    I was doing this on a frozen field in sussex in my R32, but not quite as spectacular I might add. Got my brother to drive my car whilst skiing was hooj fun though

    Fine work there Tariq; ensuring that the Boy Racer stigma attached to Impreza owners lives on…

    lol no3 its an s204 impreza, wich still aint even fast enuff, 300hp is rubbish 4 a scooby. try the litchfield type 25 impreza, 430hp to play with, and upgraded brakes and suspension. LoL woops anyways yeh u got a point, i wouldnt pick a fat arsed golf to drift with, although a lambo gallordo would look awesome :D
