It's 9.30am and the sun is just a faint orange glow above the snow-draped pine trees. Dawn is breaking, revealing the expanse of the pure white landscape slowly unfolding in front of us. It's early February and we are at the edge of a frozen lake close to the small town of Muonio in Finland, some 160km north of the Arctic Circle. This spot will be our playground for three days. Our toys: The Audi RS4 Avant and the Audi e-tron GT.
The beauty about driving on frozen lake is that it's absolutely flat and there is nothing to hit. No trees, no rocks or anything to crash into. All that stops you are the high snowbanks, which act as pillow-soft crash barriers. They don't hurt your car, only your ego when you skid off the track and get beached on a mound of snow.
