The ICE St. Moritz (Switzerland)
The name ICE ‘plays' with ice - the chosen terrain for the event scheduled to take place on 26th February – but it is also the acronym of International Concours of Elegance. A unique show, during which the cars are engaged in a fashionable yet extremely challenging driving context.
