Not content with X-Games gold medals and a big-air world record, Norwegian freeskier, Grete Eliassen, tried her hand at racing in the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup.
Freeskier Magazine caught up with Grete to find out how she fared in the race which took place recently in Salt Lake City, USA.
How was the race?
I can barely describe the feeling you get when you are racing down the track with 30-plus other cars. After qualifiers I was super pumped up. And then they told me, “Wait till race day.” And sure enough race day was the craziest car ride of my life. I saw huge crashes, debris everywhere on the track, bumpers and such. I was just laughing and driving fast when all this was happening. I even did a 1260 into the dirt and made a dirt cloud in my car, but got back on the track.
