There are plenty of performance driving experiences on offer in the market but we at Elferspot have chosen only the best!

Spirit of Speed Arctic

Have you already attended mainstream winter trainings on near road tires? Then it is surely time for something entirely new! Why not instead experience the real deal, where you can push the cars to the limits? An entirely unique winter race training with specially prepared air-cooled Porsche 911’s. All cars fitted with real World Rally Championship tires. Spirit of Speed Arctic offers an unparalleled ice driving experience that goes far beyond what is available elsewhere. The 2025 season introduces a brand-new driving area, purpose-built for our training concept.

As always with Kalmar Beyond Adventure, only the best is good enough. Our team of hand-picked, primarily Scandinavian drivers provides bespoke and individualized driving programs with one instructor per car and a maximum of five cars in total. We offer unmatched advanced driving time while maintaining a friendly atmosphere and the best “smiles per mile” ratio in the business. Whether you’re a first-time ice driver or an experienced racer, everyone will benefit significantly from our unique style of training.

A perfect mix of real ice and rally tracks creates the ideal playground to challenge yourself and your rally-inspired Porsche. Our one-to-one, highly personalized training programs mean no prior experience is necessary for any of our offerings for you to choose from:

Spirit of Speed Arctic is a unique experience that reaches far beyond what is offered elsewhere. Common for all – learn to control a Porsche 911 on the limit but still having fun.

Perfect balance of luxury and excitement. Having been on many ice driving experiences I would urge anyone NOT to attempt to compare them with this. It’s an incredible and challenging driving program which will leave a lasting impression on both experienced and novice driver alike. Luxury food and accommodation and wonderful ambience. Incomparable!

Spirit of Speed – ARCTIC CONTROL

Experienced or first time on the ice? Don’t worry, we start out slow and finish fast. If you are inexperienced we will do a short introduction and then we aim for you to master the fine art of ice driving. Together with your instructor, you will define your perfect driving program with a combination of section training and full track driving to fit your individual skills and goals. Our unique intercom radio system makes communication with your instructor easy and comfortable.

Lots of driving time spiced up with our very special night-driving sessions are not to be missed, just like a tailor-made data acquisition system will add to our common aim to create the perfect drivers’ paradise.

Spirit of Speed – ARCTIC RACE

It is all about speed and excitement! As during the Arctic Control program we aim for “driving heaven” but it does not stop here! We add the stopwatch, we let you rally through the forest on long hilly curvy tracks. Result is a real rally experience including pace notes – and you can race against your co-driver and the others in the group. To achieve this aim – we don’t just tell you how to drive a stage, we teach you how to drive it as fast a possible – and let you push to and over the limit.

Spirit of Speed – ARCTIC TEAM

Everything is planned around you and your group. Before you arrive, we create a tailor-made program designed to fit your desires. The sky’s the limit—challenge us, and we’ll deliver!

Procedure

ARRIVAL DAY

• Individual arrival at the airport Rovaniemi.
• The team meets you at the airport and shuttles you to our nearby brand new lodge.
• Take your time to “acclimatize” in the Nordic surroundings and you have time to explore the amazing winter wonderland or relax at our lodge equipped with hot tub and sauna if the travelling was a bit challenging.
• A local welcome dinner awaits you. Then you are sure to be ready to rest before action starts tomorrow.

DAY 1

• After an early breakfast, the team shuttles you 1 hour through the most amazing winter landscapes, and the goal is the driving area where a unique combination of ice and rally tracks awaits you.
• Before you enter the rally area, a seat fitting and introduction to the cars will take place to ensure your comfort while driving in the coming days. Finally, a full day of training customized to your skills, abilities, and goals! You’ll start with section training to get to know the cars and tires, followed by full-track driving.
• After seven hours on the tracks, we’ll shuttle you back for a well-deserved rest before serving a local dinner. For the Arctic Race option, we’ll also prepare pace notes and hold a rally briefing.

Day 2

• After an early breakfast, it is time to head back to the driving area for more intensive and customized ice driving. Today we enter new and more demanding tracks, and the intensity increases as much as you can handle – we have tracks for all driver levels.
• For the Arctic Race option, you can opt for the full rally experience with a full-timed session just like a real winter rally. Long stages and maximum adrenaline. If timing is not for you then keep practicing and enjoy this driving nirvana. Tired but full of adrenaline after 6 hours of active driving, it’s time for a farewell dinner.
• Hidden from tourists, an authentic restaurant with only one table and one reservation per evening prepares a 6-course dinner just for you. Local ingredients are used as extensively as possible. Enjoy the dinner while sharing all the great driving moments from the past two days. As we return to the villas, it’s time for farewells.

DEPARTURE DAY

• Breakfast is enjoyed and today can be the day where you find time for some of the optional activities.

With Spirit of Speed you now get the chance to push a wide selection of rally prepared Porsches to their limits. Our powerful air-cooled 911 classics and water-cooled 911 young timers all have manual transmission, but we have an addition of the modern mid-engined sport version of the perfectly balanced Cayman R with the lighting fast PDK gearbox. All cars have a significant reduced weight as well as sports seats, belts and roll cage for your safety, and full underbody protection for limited wear on the nice bodywork. Driving aids are limited to ABS and even that can be disconnected if you feel like it, so you are all on your own. And at Spirit of Speed Arctic, you’ll experience real World Rally Championship tires!

We live by the motto of starting where others stop, and this is also the case here. You learn when you exceed your limits, and if this can be done safely and with a smile, then that’s what we do.

With Spirit of Speed Arctic you will experience real World Rally Championship tires!

Huge developments have gone into the special suspension so there is a perfect balance with the real World Rally Championship (WRC) tires that adds a whole new dimension to the experience – this is not just a standard road tire with slightly longer spikes. These are the exact works WRC tires which won the Swedish WRC Winter Rally! Yes, we have access to the works tires so we can offer you the best winter rally tire ever produced. Tires are 105 to 135 mm narrow, each fitted with tungsten-tipped metal spikes that protrude from the tread by between 6 and 7 millimeters. 384 studs in total! The result is lap times and control superior to any tire offered at other training.

You will have your personal car instructor with you throughout the entire event to ensure everything is suited to you, and you will have the chance to try a wide variety of the famous Porsche engine and drive concepts. Rear wheel drive, rear engine, as well as all-wheel drive, and even the nimble and fast reacting mid-engined Cayman R that is sure to surprise everyone behind the steering wheel.

When you sign in, let us know if there is a car you prefer, then all efforts will be made to meet your special desire, but it is not until you master all the concepts that you can be crowned a real “ice professor”.

LOCATION

We are proud to have our new “own” location not having to share the area or even tracks with other drivers. Our area is located remotely based in a former iron mine. And of course, with ice-cold and arctic temperatures guaranteed. Uniquely we can finally offer all 3 driving surfaces. Lake, marshland, and rally hard-land tracks. We have designed the tracks ourselves so there is a wide selection of layouts, widths, and speeds on offer. Three square kilometers should be enough for only 4-5 cars driving at any given time.

Our Villas are in Levi, Finland. A popular and vibrant winter sports and ski resort in Northern Lapland and located 150 km north of the Arctic Circle. Famous for the World Cup alpine skiing season opener every year. Despite being located so far north, Kittilä Airport is reachable with a direct flight from Helsinki, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, München, Frankfurt, Paris, Manchester, London, Milan and Riga.

The Villas are only a 10-minute shuttle from the airport but can be extended if you do your own shuttle on snowmobiles! The driving area is located close to the Swedish border and the shuttle time can be used for a bit of extra rest before the action starts and surely to get the adrenalin levels down at the end of the driving days. The very demanding and challenging ice and rally tracks will become the battlefield and playground for you and reward you for building up skills whilst flying fast and sideways through the Lappish Forest. A small coffee hut will be the center of the action, and lunch will be enjoyed in a small nearby restaurant.

ACCOMODATION

Our specially selected accommodation Levi Spirit is the pure definition of Arctic luxury and comfort. Here you are having your own private space not found in an ordinary business hotel. It is not only our team, cars, and tires that are top class – also your overnight stay becomes an experience. You and your fellow “rally drivers” will enjoy the Spirit of Speed in the Levi Spirit Villas. Many stories are surely being told at the dinners. We offer a full-service memorable stay that is not found elsewhere.

The spacious area of the about 460 sqm Villa offers open lounge areas to relax, sit together, chat, and exchange experiences and impressions after a long day of intense ice driving. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces, sauna, and hot tub all-inclusive. Team spirit is guaranteed but each customer will have the exclusivity of a private room with en-suite bathroom to ensure privacy.
