Laponie Ice Driving, Telegraph Journalist tries his hand at steering

The Telegraph's Chris Knapman drives a 500bhp Corvette on a frozen lake at Laponie Ice Driving in Arjeplog, Sweden.

In 2004, Michael Schumacher took his Ferrari Formula One car around the famous tarmac of Silverstone in a record time of 1min 18.739sec. Fast forward eight years, substitute Schumacher for me, the F1 car for a 500bhp Corvette and the tarmac for a frozen lake, and what time passes as acceptable?
Four minutes and 15sec apparently. Or at least, that's according to Mattieu Perot, who has been given the unenviable task of tutoring me in the ways of driving a high performance car around Silverstone on ice.
Perot is an instructor with Laponie Ice Driving in Arjeplog, Sweden, a place that brings a whole new meaning to the term snowdrift. Our playground is a vast frozen lake located about 50 miles from the Arctic Circle, which every winter is converted into a series of high octane tracks by Perot's boss, Eric Gallardo.
Gallardo uses these tracks, which for 2012 include a full-size replica of the home of British motorsport, to teach customers the finer points of on-limit car control in a completely safe environment.
When Gallardo set up shop in 2005, he used BMW 320s to train eight drivers the finer points of on-limit car control. But as time has gone on, so the popularity of the school and the company's ambitions have grown; by 2012 the prosaic BMWs have long since been ditched in favour of a fleet of 23 high-end sports cars including Porsches, Mitsubishi Evos and Corvettes, and the number of clients has grown to about 400.

Bosch winter test center in Sweden: Track manager

Bosch conducted its first minor test drives in northern Sweden as early as 1971. In 1973, the company heard of an airstrip on a frozen lake in Arjeplog. It was the first to use the runway to develop its ABS anti-lock braking system - without interrupting flight operations. Since then, Bosch has returned to Arjeplog each year. The region, which is located sixty kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, has become a veritable mecca for European automotive testers.The icemaker Sten-Åke Nilsson explains how to prepare a test track.
