It's the day: the big end day of the Svalbard challenge! Is it possible for a Renault truck to make it up to the satellite systems, on top of the ice road?
Well, we're not there yet. Here in Murmansk, I found a cargo to Kirkenes.
It was rather urgent so we're driving full speed!
A nice cistern trailer, containing fertilizer. Better drive carefully because crashing this thing will make a big mess!
It's midnight but the sun stays orange like it's beautiful!
And suddenly, there was a small detour.
A beautiful snow mountain...
Anyone interested in some old cars?
Beautiful scenery.
The small town of Nikel.
Nearing the Norwegian border...
Totally Russian.
The sun is becoming less orange, which means it's getting morning.
A lake and a big climb!
The Russian border!
And the Norwegian border!
And a bridge!
Freight delivered.
Nice sign
...so, are you ready?
Wait a bit more because I found some cargo we can take with us
The endless sea
This shortcut went well
You're gonna take THAT to Svalbard? Lol...
The ferry...
We're on Svalbard!
Delivered!
The original plan was to reach Moskushamn, so this picture marks the completion of the Svalbard challenge!
But then I found this ice road.... Which made me think I can complete the challenge more.
At this point, the Premium really struggled with finding grip. I was going to call it a day and claim that we had to sacrifice our brave little Renault to Svalbard.....
....but that would be giving up, after 6,172 km of driving, and so many countries, is this the end of the Svalbard Challenge?
...of course not!
Meet "Pirelli Winter Tire Premium Snow Edition"!!!
...and guess what, with some keeping up, and almost blowing the gearbox....
...We made it!!
I've completed the Svalbard challenge!
p.s. not sure what will happen to this thread, maybe I will make more Svalbard related pictures here or you can use it.
The Renault made it!
I have a lot more respect for the Premium which will now be the brave little brother of the amazing upcoming Range T!
See ya!

Eh, blowing up gearbox in the 460 Premium, driving empty? Well, shame that Promods hasn't modelled the Oslofjord tunnelen. Its funny place to go with 33t tons of steel (48t combimass) and 430Dxi Premium.... 28km/h for 3 kilometers uphill.

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.
