The Arctic Challenge is a challenging tour for passenger cars across Scandinavia, where participants are challenged individually and the team will have to deal with fatigue, adversity and harsh conditions. The Arctic Challenge lasts a total of eight days in which participants travel 6000-7000 kilometers to a destination that lies beyond the Arctic Circle.
Participants will be confronted with harsh conditions such as large amounts of snow, icy roads and temperatures below -40 ℃. A good preparation, cooperation and camaraderie are essential to bring this challenge to a successful conclusion.
