Ice Driving: The Ultimate in Speed, Power and Control

Can you imagine the exhilaration as you perfect the art of sliding and gliding around a frozen lake?

You might think you’re a good driver, but can you handle a car on the ice? Whether you’re a thrill seeking motoring enthusiast, or simply wishing to perfect your driving skills, ice driving is a unique experience that you’ll never forget.

Speed and Power by the Bucket Load

Ice driving is like nothing else you’ve ever experienced and will have your adrenaline pumping and your face smiling as you get to enjoy the exhilarating sensations of speed and power by the bucket load.

Perfect for anyone passionate about driving, it’s also one of those great experiences that will teach you how to drive intuitively and how to control your car in challenging terrain.

 

Where can I do ice driving?

The ice driving event takes place on a frozen lake in the middle of a forest in the beautiful Norway, so you’ll also have some great scenery to take in (that is if you’re still for long enough).

During winter the lake freezes over and is transformed into a race track, designed to challenge and develop you as an ice driver while you practise the new skills you’ve learned.

We want our Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club (JEC) members to be able to get involved with lots of different fun events and ice driving is just one event we offer.

It’s a great opportunity to learn new skills, to do something completely different and also to talk to other car and Jaguar enthusiasts. What are you waiting for?

Scenic & Continental Car Tours work in partnership with JEC to operate this event and if you’re interested in ice driving then please call: 01732879153 and quote ‘JEC’.

You’ll be in Expert Hands:

As part of the ice driving experience, a qualified team of ARDS registered instructors and technicians will be with you to share their expert knowledge to help you become a safe and confident driver on the ice.

The lake has a Motorsport licence and is drill tested twice a day to ensure the safety of all concerned.

For a glimpse at what the day will involve then take a look at: Ice Driving in Norway video.

Passionate about driving and all things Jaguar?

And here at JEC we’re already zipping up our thermals because there’s an ice driving event taking place in just a few days time. Eek!

If ice is not your thing, then we’re sure we have something else that will set your eyes alight because we have various JEC events planned for 2016.

Before you get in touch with us please make sure to note down as many of the following details as possible. If you can complete the checklist ahead of time, it’ll make the process of arranging your insurance quick, simple and easy.

 

Personal Details

  • Your personal details, including your full address, home, work and mobile phone numbers, and email address.
  • The full name, address, date of birth, duration of licence to drive, and 5-year claim and conviction record of the person who will be driving the vehicle(s).
  • Your membership number for the JEC
  • How many vehicles are in the household (you might qualify for multi-car insurance).

 

Vehicle Details

  • The make, model and year of the vehicle(s).
  • The current overall mileage of the vehicle(s).
  • The engine size and specification of the vehicle(s).
  • All modifications made to the vehicle(s), such as the installation of non-standard wheels, aftermarket electronic equipment, performance-enhancing parts, or cosmetic upgrades.
  • Any previous professional valuations of the vehicle(s).

  • Where the vehicle(s) is/are typically kept overnight (e.g. a garage).

Agreed values

We have a number of highly-qualified experts who can inspect your vehicle prior to purchase and provide you with a full written report. In addition to their complete understanding of the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of vehicle inspection, they have extensive experience with the Jaguar marque which perfectly equips them to identify the unique requirements of specific models and years, something that is particularly important for older cars.

The cost of an inspection begins at £100, with the final figure determined by the time needed and the distance the inspector is required to travel. We can guarantee that your inspection will be cheaper than an equivalent AA or RAC inspection.

This small upfront outlay could save you thousands in the long term.

To arrange an inspection simply call JEC Head Office on 0117 969 8186 and they will provide you with details of your nearest inspector.

Also from our club HQ in Bristol we can give you an official valuation for insurance purposes. Our valuations are accepted by all leading insurance brokers and Companies.

Simply call 0117 969 8186 for details

GETTING STARTED

Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club Insurance is designed specifically for members of the JEC. That’s why it covers JEC TrackSport events and offers cover for JEC Young Enthusiasts. Furthermore, the scheme recognises that members may have a combination of newer and more historic Jaguars and so the scheme caters for all, other individually or part of a multi-vehicle offering.

Club insurance doesn’t operate the way standard insurance does. While it does still take a vehicle’s mechanical characteristics into account, it also places a lot of emphasis on how the vehicle is used, cared for and maintained.

Club insurance also offers a host of benefits and products that you simply cannot get outside of membership of the JEC, such as member to member cover for example. This enables you to drive your friends Jaguars at regional meets, events and on tours with fully comprehensive cover and without the need to complete more paperwork or ring up and incur costs for adding named drivers.

This way, you’ll be comfortable knowing that you have a policy that fits your vehicle and your usage needs perfectly.
