Abstract
Many years ago we defined road-holding as ‘the ability of a car to follow the path dictated by an average driver in all reasonable circumstances’. An average driver on snow or ice will sometimes find that his car does not ‘follow the path dictated’. Snow and ice, to an average driver, are not reasonable circumstances. To a Scandinavian rally driver, they are. With his skill and experience he will usually persuade the car to follow his wishes.
