Judge and Experts


Robert and judge Niklas Frisk

Judge – Niklas Frisk

Niklas has ridden snowmobiles all his life. He started tinkering with them in his granddad's workshop when aged six; now he works for the leading snowmobile manufacturer Polaris. He comes from the far north of Sweden, where they are the standard form of transport in winter. This makes him the perfect man to tell us which of the two teams' designs is likely to be a winner.


Turbo Taxis' expert Pete Roberts

Turbo Taxis' Expert – Pete Roberts

Pete is a founder member of London Unimotorcycle Pilots – single-wheel drag racers that are as odd as they sound. He is used to racing on grass, which should help him build a snowmobile with some grip.


Cement Mixers' expert Iain Pentland

Cement Mixers' Expert – Iain Pentland

Iain is just the man for the job as he's been a snowmobile fitter at the Cairngorm Mountain resort in Scotland for the last six years. As a trained car mechanic there's not a lot on this build likely to faze him.
