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.

    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.

    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.
