    Handling Course

    This course is designed to test vehicle handling with a balanced mix of sharp and smooth curves and fast- and slow speed sections.

    The course is about 1.5 kilometers long and 6 meters wide, with a surface of packed snow/scraped ice.

    We can also construct custom-made handling courses with a specific layout upon customer request.

    Circular Track

    The circular track is constructed with an inner lane of polished, low-friction ice. Outside, it has a section of plowed ice with a higher friction, offering a range of different surface characteristics in the same track.

    The standard radius of the circle is 120/150 meters (inner/outer) with a track width of 30 meters, but this can be adjusted upon the request. We can also construct custom-made circular tracks with varying size for exclusive use.

    The layout of a circular track allows for testing to be conducted continuously at constant speeds

    Land Handling Course

    This course is designed to test vehicle dynamics and drivetrain with a balanced mix of fast and smooth curves and fast- and slow speed sections.

    The course is about 1.5 kilometers long and emulates the characteristics of a typical small, Scandinavian country road in wintertime in an undulating terrain. The surface is made up of packed snow.

    The track is currently rented out exclusively to a customer between January and March.

    The track is 40 meters wide and 1 000 meters long as standard. The length and/or width may be adjusted upon specific customer requests, and we can also custom-make a track for exclusive use.

    The wide, open area makes the track very versatile and it can be used for many different test applications.
