Gazoo Racing Club Finland Ice Track Day 1.2.2025

[Michael Knight]

We are organizing a private ice track day with our GR Club at Central Finland on 1.2.2025 Saturday.
Theres a possibility to join the event if you're a GR car owner, and we have reserveed 4-6 places for fellow Gr-zoo members.

Contact me with DM if youre interested in joining.
I will share detailed information and can make the reservations for the event.

Participance cost is 400€ Including Saturday ice track driving (own car needed), morning coffee + lunch, and evening dinner + sauna and accommodation (one night) in shared 2person room. On Sunday there is possibility to visit rather special private car collection.

There might be an option to rent a recce car from TGR team but this is yet to be confirmed. Studded tyres are recommeneded as driving happens on ice.

Reservation must be done before 31.12.2024.

we will likely arrange a early recce drive from Helsinki Capitol area towards location via nice small roads in Saturday morning, so early start from Helsinki capitol area is good option.

We hope to see many GR Yaris cars sliding around the track!

Looks like I'm not able to edit the actual event text but we got the 2nd Generation TGR Challenge Drivers as driver coaches:
Hikaru Kogure and Yuki Yamamoto are instructing the drivers on 1.2 Ice track.

Unfortunately all TGR Recce/Training cars are up north so there's no possibility to rent one but we are looking for getting a TGR Challenge rally program coach in the event.

At the moment there's 8 cars / 10 persons registered so event looks promising. At Mäntyharju ice deck thickness is close to 10cm already. It has been quite good weather as there has been less snowfall so there has been time for ice deck to generate

Despite checking this forum every day I never saw this thread before. If I had I would have booked a slot. Let me know if still available.

Due to schedule changes thanks to warm weather we were not able to bring any rally coaches but excluding that the event was very good in terms of track conditions. Woikoski Feeling is superb place with their hospitality and quality of service. everyone seemed to be happy so it might happen also next year.

We had altogether 11 GR's in the event, and one Subaru with 3mm studs.

To bad I couldn't make it and yeah, would be nice to have proper (non-road legal) stud tyres someday...
