Five extreme tests in the Arctic cold


F
orests of snow-covered birch and pine trees, temperatures that can reach 35 degrees below zero and a frozen lake used as a track, with a 60 centimetre thick ice sheet that makes it the ideal driving surface during the winter months. At a location near the Arctic Circle, #Seat engineers push up to 90 cars to the limit every year. The following are the most extreme winter tests that the #Seat Ateca FR was put through.

-Stability control: This #test is performed on a circular track on the frozen surface of a 6 square kilometre lake. The exterior portion is less polished than the interior, for better drifting. The car’s traction control is disabled in different stages, and on some models it is even switched off completely for sportier driving. If the vehicle veers off course, the ESC system (electronic stability control) controls the wheels to correct the vehicle’s direction of travel.
