Lithuanian Blokart Team made snow ploughing tests on Curonian lagoon ice which is by now covered by 15-17 cm of snow which is the best situation in all Eastern Europe. Tests were challenging as smaller tractors couldn’t brake hard packed snow which has formed in some areas. But after trying out 7 ton John Deer tractor things went smoother and test area was prepaired.

Though it became clear that initial racing area of 10 hectares couldn’t be reached as it would be just too expensive.

After discussions with race director and jury another race area model was selected. Let’s hope that we will be able to implement it as weather conditions remain challenging – more snow is previewed for today and saturday.
