VIDEO: Car Vs Bike Racing: On Ice
What happens when a Porsche GT3 RS takes on a Yamaha YZF R1 on ice, or a Mitsubishi Evo IX Vs Yamaha WRF 450? Well, thanks to our pals at Laponie Ice Driving, we can find out...
How does 258KM/h on a bike, on ice, grab you?
The bonkers races took place on a replica of the 5.8Km Paul Ricard Circuit, on a frozen lake in Arjeplog, with all the vehicles wearing heavily-studed tyres, obviously...!

VIDEO: Manthey Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RSR
See just why we at Road Magazine are so excited to hear our friends and the infamous Manthey Racing GT3 RSR will be racing across Europe at eight perfect circuits in the GT Open this year (see post below). This external and in-car footage from the 2008 ADAC Nurburgring 24-Hour shows just what an absolute circuit devouring weapon it is... just listen to that engine and transmission working in perfect harmony: 911 Heaven! No wonder they have won this most gruelling of endurance races five times... and we'll have big money on them winning in the rest of Europe too. Anyone care to disagree?
