It was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, an important checkmark on my bucket list. But as it turned out, it became a twice-in-amonth occurrence. Hardly had I returned from an unforgettable couple of days driving on ice in the Audi RS4, that I found myself back on the same Finnair flight to Kittilä within a month. It's a good reminder of the perks of having the best Dakar job in the world. What made it truly special this time around, is that I was invited by Porsche. The prospect of driving the iconic 911 safely on an icy track was just too good to pass up, especially since I would be driving the Dakar edition of the 911.
I've always wanted to drive the Dakar, because in the Indian context, it's the perfect 911. Why? Simply because it's got the ground clearance of an SUV, so you can take it on roads and places you wouldn't dare in a standard 911.
