Goodwood in the snow? What is Ferdi Porsche’s GP Ice race?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
After a three year break (thanks to a global pandemic and warm temperatures), the F.A.T International Ice Race at Zell am Zee is back. But what on earth is it? And why haven't you heard about it before? Organised by 30-year old Ferdi Porsche (yes, that Porsche), the Austrian ice racing event can trace its roots way back to the 50s - with the Porsche family having a strong presence in the area way back then. But enthusiasm waned, until Ferdi brought the event back in 2019, with an eclectic showcase of everything from Porsche factory Dakar cars to 1950s speedsters and everything in-between. And it's not just Porsches here, there's everything from dune buggies to hot hatch rally specials and priceless vintage Ferraris.
So what's it all about? Let Top Gear's Ollie Marriage be your guide.

LOL poor Ollie, expecting to hold an interview/conversation and only getting to stand there and be firehosed with promo chat almost non-stop.
It’s funny to see that the GTI already has condensation in the headlights 😂

German Engineering at it finest =)
It's amazing to see the eclectic mix of vehicles on icy track. 🏎
If you say you're going to show us everything, show us everything! There were some really interesting cars in the background or montages there which we didn't get to actually look at properly. I think this could have been a much longer film or a series - this approach felt very compromised.
the golf gti 8.5 already has condensation in the rear lights hahahahahhaahaha

I see many other cars with condensation in the headlights often Mercedes. Thats a problem with LED i guess.

Those classic cars look pretty sick on the ice 👌
Wow! Porsche 917K Awesome and the De Tomaso Pantera ( Mid-Engine ) Vintage Super Exotics 👩🏻🚀👍🏻🏎️🏁⛰️🌲⛰️ Amazing to see them in an Awesome Event.
To sum it up: Rich people doing a circle on snow in fancy cars. We have many local tracks, where you pay 20 euro for a day on 1+ KM 10 m wide ice! And they have circle? lol

Nah. Car enthusiasts getting together for a laugh. You heard the man, any car is welcome. The rain washed away most of the snow so they couldn’t build a big or intricate track.

@@km6832 I don’t get your point. It’s a race. Racing is expensive. Of course only a certain calibre of people are there - how much do you think it costs to A- get a car ice-race worthy B- get it to Austria? The vast majority of attendees were Racing Drivers.

@@nightstorm16 you are agreeing with me. Like i said any car welcomed. Not any owner, the plebs like us cant go, by extension the racing drivers also have regular pleb cars. My statement stays its a rich people invite only event

Lol where are your 20 euro tracks plz?
I need to go there one day!
Looks like a very efficient commuter car.
The editing of the first 30 sec is chaotic. Too many things.
Such a great intertaiment
There's a FAT event near Aspen, Colorado, in February. Tickets are a mere $1,911---per day!
That new Golf looks great, that red is amazing.
New Golf GTO: Oh no, a big tablet. SOAB
What a tease
@7:10 already has moisture in the headlight. Come on VW.
Danke Ferdi 🙌🏻
Cars and coffee, on ice 🤔

This is Cars and Cold Brew
7:10 seconds There is water vapor inside the golf GTI car lights😂😂😂😂
seems nice
I would attend it for the cars, but I'm not sure if I could handle all the rich douche chatter going on. Also, I need a moment to process the fact that you can't get a manual GTI anymore
That's heaven
Set ~maximum occupancy for event and organise additionals if demand exceeds?
You can see why the proper top gear got cancelled with how Ollie talks about some brands and models
Mk8.5 GTI with proper buttons on steering wheel…now you have my attention.
There is a great ice race in Summit county, Colorado that's been going on for years. Mostly Jeeps if I remember.

We went to the ICE event at St Moritz and it wasn't good at all. There was nothing there to see or do and again the ice was just slush.
That 917 is a replica. It has a flat 6
If Top Gear is owned by the the BBC then why am I seeing Adverts?
the member of the porsche family thought the host was American despite of the accent
Since it was a family (Porsche) event, were there any Bugatti there?

not at this event, there was another family porsche event (fat mankei opening) where there was a bugatti
Beware mates : the 917 is a replica from Norway
It'd be great if you could let your audience know about this event in advance rather than just after it happens 😝

Anything not sponsored. Does Top Gear ever dare say an expensive car or event is shit nowadays or do we need to ring up Clarkson? Standard content.
The Golf 5 is the ugly one under all Golfs, beside the Golf 8 of course!
5% of golf owner are only buying in manual💔. The era of motor vehicles r.i.p
The fact that Ollie thinks little of the absolutely legendary mk4 R32 and instead praises the ugly, frog-looking, and heavy mk5 is baffling. Loses some VW credibility in my eyes
Sorry lost all respect for your opinions now. MK5 R32 over a MK4 are you even a car fan? Manual MK4 1. Looked better 2. Drove better without the awful DSG. Owned from new and ran for 12 years after that I still got more than 50% of its value back. That never happened with the MK5.
A Golf GTI without a manual gearbox ? What a joke... Praises go to Toyota with their GR Yaris success: lots to learn from this.
The new gti is.....very very alfa romeo on wheels ......and Renault megane rs the front bumper..... New ....copy niceee!!!🙈🙈
