For several weeks now, conversations in the automotive scene have all ended with one question: ‘will we see each other in Zell am See?’. And more often than not, the answer was ‘yes, of course’. Early last week, Instagram and Facebook were flooded with photos of countless racing cars prepared to tackle the ice and loaded onto transporters. For a moment, it felt like even Donald Trump and the coronavirus had nothing on the GP Ice Race. In fact, with the second edition, the GP Ice Race’s organisers Ferdi Porsche and Vincenz Greger have achieved the feat of securing their position in the league of absolute ‘must-attend’ events. Of course, the family ties and quick official channels of Porsche and Volkswagen facilitated the organisation, but the youthful après-ski spirit of the inaugural event last year was thankfully retained for 2020.
