We are sometimes asked about Ice Driver and our impact on the environment, so we think it worthwhile to answer a few of the more obvious queries

Firstly, the surface. Unlike most racing circuits constructed at vast expense using materials such as concrete, asphalt and other mined and excavated materials, our track is made from a 100% natural and renewable material - water. We use no chemicals or other additives to promote ice, we simply let nature take it's course and monitor the creation of ice. Once we're happy there's enough of it, we sweep away the snow using a blower and we're done. When spring comes, our track dissappears leaving no trace that we have ever been, then we wait again for next year. We carry environmental spill equipment in the unlikely event of an oil leak and always ensure that nothing is spilled onto the surface of the ice. How many other venues can claim to have a 100% natural, bio-degradable track surface?

Our cars all run standard unleaded fuel. Our notherly location means that E85 Ethanol is not yet widely available locally, but we're conducting tests and as soon as we can see the benefits and know that it's viable, we'll be using it.

Wherever possible, our staff use the Swedish rail system for travel. The high speed, electrically powered trains use current pulled only from hydroelectric and wind-powered sources giving probably the most efficient public transport system in Europe. We recommend our clients use the rail system for travel within Sweden.
