While many Porsche owners around the world lock their cars away when winter arrives, some brave owners go ice racing!

On a track built on top of thick ice, interesting and historically significant cars slipped and slithered and raced their way into the history books. Many, in the controlled environment of the race track, towed ski racers behind them in a renaissance of the lost art of skijöring. Two Porsche brand ambassadors were among them: LeMans driver Jörg Bergmeister had the Norwegian Olympic ski champion Aksel Lund Svindal in tow.

Watching the 16,000-strong crowd is almost as fascinating as watching the cars at the GP Ice Race, with a real mixture of people mingling in a shared enthusiasm for all things four-wheeled.

The GP Ice Race is like a Goodwood on Ice. In terms of numbers of cars and guests, there are many similarities to when the Goodwood Festival of Speed first started in 1993, but it is aimed at a new generation of motor racing fans for whom the party and the social media moments are as important as who finished which race in what position.
