Now let’s just hope for a cold February in St. Despite a world-class line-up of cars that wouldn't have felt out of place at Villa d’Este or Pebble Beach, the Swiss winter concours felt more casual and inclusive than most events we went to last year. Only at The ICE will you see unicorns like a Ferrari 250 GTO or a Maserati MC12 crossing a frozen lake in full drift. With last year’s edition, The International Concours of Elegance St Moritz has proven to literally be the coolest car event of the year. At least that’s what we tell our bosses while we make reservations at the restaurant we've been waiting to return to all year. With the finest cars for sale from Europe’s leading specialists and a series of auctions by Artcurial, Bonhams and RM Sotheby’s, the season opening is a good indicator for the temperature of the market and the latest trends. The Rétromobile in Paris might not be the biggest collector car tradeshow of the year, but it is certainly the most glamorous. Classic Driver will be there with our pals from Rennmeister, promising orange racecars on ice and an aprés-skijoring party to remember. Part winter gymkhana, part music festival on snow, the two day winter bonanza offers spectators a glimpse of the coolest cars of the moment. Launched in 2018 by Ferdi Porsche and his team, the GP Ice Race in Zell am See, Austria, has quickly evolved into the must-go season opening event for the next generation of car enthusiasts.
