Watch A Corvette Z06 Drift In The Snow (Video)

Corvette Z06 Ice Drifting

So, you don’t have $120,000 to throw down on an authentic Formula Drift Corvette race car. Well, for about half that, you can take a stock Corvette Z06, equip it with snow tires, and drift it over your favorite frozen lake (if you live north of Marquette, Michigan, this is totally plausible). Or, visit the Laponie Ice Driving Experience in Arjeplog, Sweden.

While we didn’t have the pleasure of experiencing the Swedish course, Chris Knapman of the UK’s Telegraph was able to slide and frequently spin out on the ice track that mimics Britain’s famed Silverstone road course. What fun!

      Just apply the throttle and brakes gently and you’ll be fine :)
