The competitions will take part in both stock cars and electric cars, as well as factory special versions with certified sports homologation. The important element of successful races on the natural Baikal ice will be tires, on which maneuverability and safety directly depend. Ice is the most insidious coating for winter. Car competitions at maximum speeds are held on the surface of the lake with inherent roughness. The maximum clutch with the “ice road” is important here – the possibility of reaching a record and the security of the pilot depend on this.

Ikon AutoGraph ICE 9 premium studded tires fully reveal the potential of participants’ cars and meet all the requirements for driving in winter conditions. The tires provide safe and confident management on any road due to the concept of a double mistake. This unique technology provides high longitudinal adhesion during acceleration and braking, as well as transverse adhesion when passing turns and rebuilding on an icy and snowy surface. A special layer of rubber mixture under the spike provides acoustic comfort due to depreciation of the spike on the roadway, which is so important for concentrating the driver’s attention during movement.
