Or may-be not so much fun, if you go there before ice is thick enough. 15 cm. is minimum, 20 cm. is safe. This happened few days ago, they had to broke the windows to get out. It's on the sea.
Here the ice track racing is very popular. We go often with friends to some frozen lake or sea and lay down the track and have fun. And what's good, it's very easy for cars, unlike track racing, where engine, brakes and suspension are under heavy use all time.

Must be fun!!! I remember watching the bonus material on the James Bond DVD where they showed shooting the ice lake scenes ... (and, totalling one of the cars in the process ...)

Guys took out old F3 formula, mounted spiked racing tires on four front rims and go !

It was slower than race prepped STi driven by racing driver, but street cars would have hard time in catching it.

I think I want an STI. They are just so badass.. Low 13s in the 1/4, all wheel drive, 6 speed and a supercharger to boot... ~drool~

Well, road and track or car and driver, whichever it was, said that it and the Cobra had superchargers. Either way I'm sure it's more reliable than this POS.
