Mikhail Aleshin is preparing for the arrival in the Arctic

The first Russian pilot of the American racing series Indy Car Mikhail Aleshin going to set the record speed in GP2 racing car in the Murmansk region.

Michael has checked himself into a fundamentally new conditions — will make the world's first high-speed race for the Arctic Circle, at 67 degrees north latitude. A specially prepared racing car series GP2 has been modified to harsh and unpredictable Arctic climate.

I am very inspired by the fact that I have a chance to set an unusual, unique achievement in the GP2 race car in the Arctic Circle. Participation in this project for me was the possibility of a new way to test yourself and your experience of the pilot of a racing car. Our goal — to put the record speed of the car above the Arctic Circle — a truly ambitious. No one's ever made such, this race is expected to make in really extreme conditions. I am grateful for the opportunity to Adrenaline Rush to be the first one to do it...
Mikhail Aleshin:


For entry into the unpredictable weather conditions and special pavement it was modified racing car series GP2 capacity of 561 hp, which in normal conditions (on a prepared track) is capable of accelerating to 100 km / h in 3.2 seconds. Unique location, extreme conditions, professional pilots and powerful car series GP2 — components of success, which we hope will lead to the achievement of record.
