Prodrive is a British motorsport and automotive engineering group based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England.
In 1990, Prodrive began a long standing and highly successful relationship with Subaru, forming the Subaru World Rally Team. Prodrive was tasked with running Subaru’s rallying campaigns, helping them to three Drivers’ and three Manufacturers’ World Rally Championships (WRC). Starting out with the Subaru Legacy, they achieved minor success in the WRC with regular drivers Colin McRae and Ari Vatanen. The first Subaru victory in the WRC was by McRae in a Legacy during the 1993 Rally New Zealand. The smaller and more agile Impreza became the platform which Prodrive would be most successful within rally. Scotland’s Colin McRae won the 1995 World Rally Championship for drivers, followed later by England’s Richard Burns in 2001 and Norwegian Petter Solberg in 2003. All three championship Subarus were prepared and run by Prodrive.

This event took place on snowy track «333», arranged by KG Knutsson, official dealer for Thule products.
During the program participants had chance to take safe driving classes, to take part in time attack on ice track and finally to take co-drive in EVO X prepaired for rally with Harald Schlegelmilch, the 25 years old driver who has already managed to participate in championships like Formula Renault 2000, German Formula 3, Porsche Carrera Cup and F2 Championship.
It was very impressive, especially to get an experience in winter driving with 4×4 on track.
