How exhilarating is it to drift a high-performance BMW M3 on an ice circuit? Or take on punishing, snowy terrain in a BMW 4×4? You can find out for yourself, if you win our competition prize.
The lucky winner – and a partner or friend – will fly to BMW’s driving experience centre in Sölden, Austria, for a snow and ice intensive training course in late 2014.
Over two days, you’ll tackle a variety of valley and mountain challenges, to improve your braking and handling skills, and experience how to safely climb and descend tough terrain. Plus you’ll get to drift through a slalom course in an M3!
You’ll stay in a five-star spa hotel, and enjoy the company of up to 18 other participants at social occasions. Flights from London airports are included.
