Aaltonen Motorsport driving events are organized in eastern Finland, in the beautiful Tahkovuori winter sport resort

Aaltonen Motorsport driving events are organized in eastern Finland, in the beautiful Tahkovuori winter sport resort. Their track is built on a frozen lake, in the middle of untouched Finnish nature. These lofty surroundings play an important part in the whole experience, but still the main point of the whole event is driving.

Car safety has advanced dramatically in the past few decades. Along with the passive safety (safety in the event of a crash), the car manufacturers have concentrated on improving the active safety as well. As a result, the cars’ equipment and characteristics are such that they will prevent accidents from happening. Almost without exception, modern cars are equipped with ABS (anti-lock brake system), traction and stability control.

However, the driver still plays a significant role in preventing accidents. No matter how clever the on-board equipment and how well the car handles, the driver must still be able to react correctly in unforeseen situations. He must know how the car behaves on the limit, he must choose the correct speed for a specific situation, etc. This is something you won’t learn on public roads. The proper place to practice these vital skills, to any motorist, is on a closed circuit.

This is where Aaltonen Motorsport step in: they will give you an unforgettable motor sports experience and while you are having the time of your life, you will also learn professional racing techniques, skills that might help you some day to avoid an accident. In these days of speed cameras, road rage and congestion charges, the freedom of hurling a car round a huge frozen lake is a surprising joy.
