Knowing a Bentley is a superb way to indulge in the
spirit of driving. Knowing how the car will react on
snow and ice in precarious situations is another
matter. And knowing how you will react yourself is
something you have to experience for yourself.
The philosophy behind Power on Ice is to design a
driving programme set in the most inspiring locations,
that will take you and the car to the limit– and safely
back again. Our individual and exclusive programme
with just two guests per car and instructor allows us
to tailor the activities to your skills and experience.
Learn how to handle such demanding situations
as slalom, emergency avoidance, braking and accel-
eration. We will demonstrate the effect of weight
transfer on the car’s handling during corner ing, and
how to use it to your advantage.
A car’s motion and traction is the result of many
interacting forces. We will show you how to
understand these and to calculate how they affect
handling. In this way, Bentley makes the unpre-
dictable predictable – and controllable.
Under the guidance of a professional instructor
sitting beside you, you will develop a feeling for
manoeuvring the Bentley using just the accelerator
and precise adjustments of the steering wheel to
safely slide the car through loops and fi gure-of-eights.
Once you have completed the individual exercises,
you will be ready to practice and hone your new skills
in a number of realistic situations. These situations
would be diffi cult enough to master on dry asphalt,
and by managing them on a frozen surface, you
will feel the difference made by all-wheel drive,
interacting with your own developing experience.
Finally, you will see how to turn the combination of
sheer power and technology built into the Bentley
Continental GT to your benefi t – with all the time
and space you need to experiment to your heart’s
content.
When you have returned home, think how it will feel
to sit behind the wheel of your own Bentley. With
your newly gained skills, knowledge and experience,
and with even more confi dence than before. Because
you will know the true capabilities of your car.

Being copilot of the four times World Rally Champion Juha Kankhunnen is another very unique experience.
The eagerly awaiting pack of huskies may seem
uncontrollable as you are preparing to set off. But on
command they soon quieten down and begin their
task: Transporting you smoothly through the woods.
The pace is fast and the experience unforgettable.
Sit back in the sledge and enjoy the ride as your guide
takes you to the destination for a traditional meal
in front of a roaring fi re at the very heart of this
un-spoilt natural beauty.
Enjoy the total freedom of driving a snowmobile
through the un-disturbed snowscape. Naturally,
guides will be available to give you advice before you
set off. Simply the (second) best way to travel across
ice and snow – if you can’t be in a Bentley, that is.
