Driving the Polaris RZR on ice in Arvidsjaur

Ever had a crash course in intimidation? Well, I had the privilege very recently. It happened when I headed to an ice driving track in Arvidsjaur, Sweden, with a bunch of seemingly regular individuals who had all, up until that point, been laughing and chatting away with me about life, the universe and everything. En route our frozen destination however, amidst jokes of who was likely to be the fastest at the track, it slowly dawned on me that there might have been the slightest possibility that I was a little out of my depth. You see, one of the merry bunch happened to be a former Volkswagen Scirocco R Cup champion. Another happened to have two racing world championship titles under his belt. The third fortunately had no racing pedigree, but did casually mention how he was accustomed to spending the first three months of each year driving on ice.
