Even if you assemble world’s best photographers in a picturesque setting like that of Finland to shoot fast and exciting cars like the Audi RS e-Tron GT or the RS4 Avant, the photos won’t do justice to the experience that Audi’s Ice Drive is. It is now the second year, but this time, it was surely twice the adrenaline and fun. And if I had an option to stay there for 30 days, work, and drive sideways... I would happily do that. It is an expensive affair. Just the tickets, food & boarding for 3 nights, will be over 5 lakhs. The cost of cars, trainers, and ice track which is carved out and prepared will add more to that. If you are a non-auto enthusiast, you will love it and if you’re an auto addict like me, you might attain Nirvana through the Ice Drive experience.
