Vintage race cars push their limits as the ice begins to melt

The ICE St. Moritz is known for its surreal setting—a frozen lake transformed into a racing stage. But as temperatures rise, so does the challenge. When the ice begins to melt, only the bravest drivers and most well-built machines can handle the conditions.

This year, the spectacle was even more intense as vintage race cars powered through the slushy surface, their tires kicking up water and ice. It was a rare sight: multimillion-dollar classics, usually displayed in museums or kept in private collections, tearing through unpredictable terrain with the same spirit they had in their prime. Every moment felt like a battle between man, machine, and nature—a thrilling reminder that racing has never been just about speed, but about resilience and skill.
