In addition to our existing Arctic Driving Center training facility in Rovaniemi on the edge of the Arctic Circle, this winter we also offer a new location in Levi. Situated in the far north of Finland, Levi is conveniently accessible and offers exclusive accommo dation. Naturally, the new Porsche Driving Center also has a few other benefits: even more sections and handling courses. In short: even more enjoyment behind the wheel on snow and ice. Our, and training will take place here for the first time this year. Participants new to our winter driving programmes will still be in their element in Rovaniemi where our Training will be held as in previous years. Improve your driving skills in icy, yet controlled conditions on our winter courses, all under the expert guidance of the Porsche Driving Experience instructors, of course. Learn about accurate braking, evasive manoeuvres or controlled drift on specially prepared sections and handling courses. There are no limits to what you can achieve behind the wheel. Whichever winter training you opt for, one thing is guaranteed: pure, unadulterated driving pleasure. Take up the challenge and shift up a gear this winter instead. We look forward to seeing you there. Your sincerely, The Porsche Driving Experience team
