Mike Shinoda, Phoenix and Joe Hahn of the band Linkin Park recently went on a trip last month to Arvidsjaur, Sweden. The three appeared to have an epic moment as they drove through the icy plains of the place not far from the Arctic Circle using Mercedes-AMG cars. Some photos of their trip were posted in their band’s Facebook page and Instagram account.

Arvidsjaur is the current location of the Mercedes-AMG Driving Academy. It is there where interested individuals or groups can discover their peak driving performance and then further improve it through AMG’s Racetrack-Training.

Under the AMG Winter Sporting program, participants can brag their skills behind the steering wheel and further refine their driving techniques through various modules offered by the academy, including drifting at your heart’s content in the area near the Arctic. The tracks are made more challenging by the slippery icy and snowy terrain. Overall, it is an extreme adventure coupled with an exclusive social program offering on location.

The most notable car in the pictures that Mike and his group posted in their band’s social media accounts was the Mercedes-AMG GT S. Each band member could be seen driving it and the three even made a cool pose with it, which you see above.
