In February 2008, three times world touring car champion Andy Priaulx spent the day with the Ice Driver team as part of his warm up for the coming season. Here's what he had to say about Ice Driver

Q. Who gave you the idea to come to Ice Driver?
A. It was something I know Micheal Schumacher used to try and that's what prompted me.

Q. Why come to Sweden?
A. It's not too far to travel and the conditions are almost guaranteed.

Q. Why would a racing driver want to do what looks like a rally driver's thing?
A. I think it's important for a driver to take himself out of his comfort zone. This is what makes you develop

Q. What do you think you learned that you can apply to your driving and WTCC?
A. That's a difficult one, really. It's not just one thing that makes the difference, but lots of things added together. For sure, ice driving helped my car control and anticiptation.
