Rivian on Georgetown Lake Ice Racing

[Calvin2518]

It's always a blast getting onto Georgetown Lake to do some ice racing - the Rivian honestly crushed it with the stock Pirelli AT's, I was seriously impressed.
Drift Mode was way too rear wheel biased, Rally Mode was perfect.

That looks like hilarious-levels of fun. But I wouldn't be able to shake the fact that I'm messing about with my 7000+lb truck on frozen water.

It's about as much fun as can be, lol. Ice measured in at 17" thick. The military drives tanks on it when it's 12"+, it's safe - BUT the first year I did it? 100% freaked out the whole time. You get used to it. But, the whole time you're standing on the ice, it's creaking and groaning and moaning. It's a little surreal lol.

The tank tracks cover a lot of surface area which reduces ground pressure. "The ground pressure of a Abram tank is only 15 PSI, while the ground pressure of standard passenger car is about 30 PSI!"
