Hmmm, I just watched the preview. It is indeed a race between snow dogs and Hilux.

I will have to check what's up with SBS programming as there is definitely no Repeat on their Guide info.

May take a while with Xmas hols.

I’m pretty sure it was on a few months ago if this is the one with the modified big red hilux and the snow dogs.

SBS info says its first run.

There was a Winter Olympics Special as part of the eighth series. And in S8E2 there was a sequence in which they races a Jet Kayak across the waters of Iceland.

But the Polar Special is part of Season 9 which starts in January.

I've also looked back thru SBS Guides and didn't find it.

Unless you were in the UK, you wouldn’t have seen it.

i recall seeing a Polar Special a while back, so its probably a repeat.
