The FAT Ice Race is returning to the US for the second time, this year hosted by the Moonlight Basin resort adjacent to Big Sky, Montana. The event grew out of a European winter event in the Austrian mountain resort of Zell am See, which has been hosting races on the ice for generations.
T. Ice Race was revived in 2019 after falling dormant in 1974, and this year's event will feature historic and modern cars taking on a frozen course on the golfing fairways of the Moonlight Basin resort.
The weekend will kick off with a series of racing events, culminating in a thrilling display of speed and skill on the ice. With a range of cars expected to participate, including Porsche models and other iconic vehicles, the FAT Ice Race promises to be an exhilarating experience for car enthusiasts.
The event is being held at Big Sky, Montana, which has been growing as a travel destination in recent years, adding to the excitement surrounding the ice race. As the weather forecast indicates snow showers on Wednesday, organizers are hopeful that there will be plenty of snow to race on.
With tickets starting at almost $250 for a one-day pass and VIP admission approaching $2,000 per day, this is an event not for the faint of heart. For those willing to splurge, the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is organizing a trip to see the race starting at $12,500 per couple.
The FAT Ice Race is set to take place from February 26-28, and fans are eagerly anticipating the return of this unique and thrilling event.
The FAT Ice Race has established itself as a premier winter motorsport event, offering an exhilarating experience for car enthusiasts and a unique opportunity to witness high-speed racing on ice. With its rich history and diverse range of participating cars, the event is sure to deliver an unforgettable experience for attendees.
