IWC Schaffhausen | Elegance on ice

The International Concours of Elegance, a gathering for fans of historic vehicles, took place for the first time in February 2022. Held in the Graubünden resort of St. Moritz, this event aims to become an unmissable annual appointment for Classic Car enthusiasts from all over the world.

The IWC racing team seized the opportunity to kick off its fourth racing season. In her second appearance for the team, Austrian racing driver Laura Kraihamer steered the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” across the frozen lake. Kraihamer, who has been a member of the IWC family since 2021, already sat behind the wheel of the “Gullwing” at the Goodwood Members’ Meeting in the UK last October.

The course on the frozen lake of St. Moritz, which is usually reserved for horse racing, required concentration and expert driving. The 50 or so participants, grouped into six thematic categories, had to compete with studded tyres in order to navigate the circuit on the snowy ice.
