F.A.T. - the home for the car as a cultural icon! Our flagship product, the GP Ice Race, was founded by Ferdi Porsche and continues a long tradition of motorsports in Zell am See, Austria! A place that brings together young and old, fast and slow, and everyone is welcome to celebrate the car as a cultural icon! The F.A.T. team is working tirelessly to develop an inclusive concept true to its rich history while also conscious of the demands we place on our environment. In addition to the GP Ice Race we are expanding the F.A.T. brand vision beyond a single event, to encompass new locations, adding product lines as well as adhoc cooperations with our key sponsors and partners. The next stop: F.A.T. Mankei, a unique location on the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse at 2262m, opening May 2023!
