Winter 2026 / 2027 · Upstate New York · Driving experience
Snow Cross: ice, weight transfer and throttle steering.
Over the winter months we take the Safari north.
Open by application to passionate drivers. Join our instructors and mechanics on a private frozen course in Upstate New York to learn low-grip recovery, pendulum turns and throttle steering, behind the wheel of our builds or your own car.
Whiteout
The first morning on the lake is quiet. By the afternoon, every driver has found the car's balance.
Instruction is one to one. Cars are ours or yours, on studded tyres, with a mechanic at the paddock all day.
02 · Drives and viewings · For members and guests
Gravel the rest of the year.
Drives
Gravel days and routes
A few cars, a guide, a route worth the trip, and a table at the end of it.
Evenings
Private viewings
The car, the build book and the people behind it, for a collector and their guests.
Open days
The atelier at work
A visit while the build happens. Small groups, a few dates a year.
03 · For companies and teams · Tier I · The atelier engine challenge
Ten to twenty people. Real parts on the bench. First crew to finish starts the engine.
Divided into small crews alongside our mechanics, your team strips, measures and rebuilds a live fuel or ignition assembly: twin carburettors, a cylinder head or a working scale V8. The first crew to pass bench inspection bolts its work onto the engine and turns the key for the first start. Dinner follows at the atelier table.
No mechanical background is required. Every step is guided in our Manhattan atelier, with wine and dinner hosted at our long table once the engine fires.
Tier II · Executive overland retreats · 6 to 12 executives · multi-day
Beyond the city: upstate roads, winter ice driving and a private table.
Multi-day retreats in Upstate New York that combine private lodge hospitality with gravel-stage driving or winter Snow Cross instruction, mechanical briefings and fireside evenings with our builders.
