Team Carrera Classic was last weekend as a guest of Juha Kankkunen Driving Academy on their ice tracks in Kuusamo. The condition were perfect, -3 to -5 decrees with moderate wind. We were driving two days with our own 2.0 Litre Cup 1965 911 race car and the 1967 912 rally car as well the Audi S3 from JK Driving Academy.
The first day was getting familiar with the tracks and with the basics of ice driving. We got professional guidance from our own race driver Risto Virtanen who works as Head Instructor at JK Driving Academy in the winter season. It took also some time to get the old engines to run smoothly in the cold and humid conditions. The next challenge was the tyres. Our 912 was running perfectly with normal street legal winter tyres, but our 911 race car needed clearly more grip due to the heavier rear weight and more power. After changing to narrow Black Rocket 155/70/15, FIA historic rally tyres the 911 was also going perfectly. The 912 was star of the track with a very balanced run. Our team all had their own favorites. For some the 912 was the best car to drive, for some the 911 race car and even the modern Audi S3 with 333 hp had her own friends. It was a great weekend session. Thank you for the JK Driving Academy.
