WINTER IS COMING

While each new season brings stark visual differences – tumbling leaves in autumn, misty fog in spring and the crisp blue of an August sky in summer – it’s when the swirling winds of winter arrive that the race action changes most drastically. While rain naturally affects handling and braking zones, it doesn’t have quite the same impact as snow and sleet does. Every surface suddenly becomes a skittish dance with death and you have to consider more than just on- and off-road portions of the map, as a deep freeze opens up new roads to race on. In case you were wondering, no, there’s absolutely no point taking a Ferrari Enzo for a skate on the newly iced Derwent Water.
