ARCTIC EXPERIENCE
FEARLESS ON ICE
01 02 THE EXPERIENCE The only ice driving experience in the world to offer the thrill of the McLaren Sports Series. Join us this winter for a very special experience 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. As the temperature plummets in Northern Finland, the landscape crystallises and sets the scene for what will be an unforgettable driving adventure. Within one of Finland s most expansive winter testing facilities, you will discover the power and agility of the McLaren 570S, whilst pushing your driving skills to the limit with the help of our experienced team of professional coaches. With its mixture of frozen lakes and hillside trails this is the perfect winter wonderland on which to put the McLaren 570S, and your driving, to the ultimate test. The exhilaration continues off the track, as after-dark snowmobiling and a husky safari through the wilderness keep the adrenalin powering. When it is time to drop down a gear, enjoy the very best of Finnish hospitality in the intimate Jávri Lodge, the former home of the President of Finland, in the company of like-minded McLaren enthusiasts.
UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES 03 Set within a dedicated winter testing facility in Finland, the McLaren Ice Driving Centre encompasses three lakes and over 100km of almost permanently frozen roads and hillside trails, making this the most varied ice driving experience in the world. 04
05 IN THE DRIVING SEAT 06 Learning to drive on ice is a unique experience, one that will stay with you long after the snow has melted. And of course, being behind the wheel of a McLaren 570S makes it all the more exhilarating. Working with one of our McLaren Ice Driving Specialists you will manoeuvre at your own pace through a variety of track configurations encompassing both ice and snow surfaces. Across two days, there is plenty of time to develop your skills in this one of a kind environment. Your experience will begin when you venture onto the frozen playground that is the McLaren Ice Driving Centre. When on the ice the slightest of steering and throttle adjustments can invoke a drift. Your coach will help you understand how to manipulate the car and use the slide to your advantage. Once you ve mastered the basics you will be ready to tackle faster and more dynamic layouts, putting your new skills to the test as you slide your McLaren through challenging twists and turns. As our tracks extend into the rolling arctic hills, you will also have the unique opportunity to apply advanced techniques used by world class rally drivers over a diverse selection of camber and elevation changes. The programme is tailored to you and designed to help you achieve your goal, whether that be mastering the infamous Scandinavian flick or building your confidence driving in challenging conditions. And when you return to driving on asphalt, you will be able to put these newly learned skills into practice and get the most from the power and agility of your McLaren.
AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER 07 Attention to detail is at the heart of the McLaren philosophy, and our experiences are no exception. From the moment you land, you will be looked after by a dedicated McLaren team who will cater to your every need, and guide you through a world class programme of activities throughout your stay. 08
09 10 HOME FROM HOME Nestled within the untamed Lappish wilderness is Jávri Lodge, built by Urho Kekkonen, the longest serving President of Finland. He fell in love with the area of Saariselkä and its outstanding beauty, and was inspired to build a place where he could share its charm with those closest to him. Set amongst vast lakes and forests, and in an ideal position for viewing the glorious Northern Lights, staying at Jávri is an intimate and special experience. Like the countless world leaders who have stayed before, you will find yourself truly relaxed, refreshed and immersed in nature. The service today remains nothing short of presidential with a personalised concierge service, cuisine that celebrates the best of local ingredients and luxurious accommodation. Every piece of furniture inside has been hand-picked by the owner with the care and attention you would expect from a McLaren Experience. During your Arctic experience Jávri Lodge will provide the perfect base for relaxation and sharing of stories from the day s activities.
ADVENTURES IN THE SNOW 11 Swap your McLaren for a snowmobile and discover the untamed landscape of Lapland. Travelling in convoy behind your experienced guide, you will discover the exhilaration that comes from driving deep into the wilderness at night. 12 The fast pace does not end on the track. Experience the excitement of driving your own team of dogs as they transport you across a magical winter landscape of snow-capped forests and frozen lakes on a timeless and unforgettable adventure.
