How to drive on ice (in a Lamborghini)
. Naturally, I did most of my training in the last car because it’s the most difficult to control on the ice – and Lamborghini’s instructors are sadists.
Obviously, I did a few pirouettes during my first couple of laps. Once I’d stopped running the car into the snowbanks, though, Miloš Pavlović and Leo Pulcini decided to plonk me into a rear-wheel drive Huracan STO on studded tyres and teach me how to drift on ice. Here’s some of the wisdom they imparted:Approach the corner at around 40mph . Just before you swing the car into the bend, snap the throttle shut.
You need two things to get it right – timing and good aim. Miloš and Leo were constantly reminding me to look where I wanted the car to go and to extend the drift from the previous corner for as long as possible. That means you retain the maximum amount of momentum for the next turn, so you can exit that one in a similarly large cloud of snow dust.Driving on ice is all about learning car control.
First off, slow down. To stay in control, expect to halve the speed limit shown on the road sign. That way, if you do lose control of your car, it isn’t travelling quickly enough to cause any serious damage when you run it into something. I didn’t get the speedo above 45mph on the ice track.
