ICE-3 Racing

ICE-3 Racing is a german racing team founded at the end of 2016. The team is heavily supported by its main sponsor Ice Watch and is based near the Saschenring.

Debuts

The team raced for the first time in the 2016 24 Hours of Aston, entering a XRR. The race was a disaster as the car was damaged in the start chaos. Drivers tried their best to keep the car on the road, but nothing worked properly. Not even the pit lane speed limiter, which caused the squad to get drive through penalties. After one of too many of these, the car was disqualified from the meeting. The 2016 version of the XRR was nowhere near as good as its predecessor. Each of these cars encountered many problems and a major lack of speed.

2017

ARST

The team started their 2017 AutoReject Super Touring season with Mercedes C-Coupé cars run by former IFRC driver Mathilde Thybes and former F3RWRS driver Francesco Fagioli. Both drivers never really made an impression during the season. Fagioli managed to score a 14th place on the second race at Adelaide, and four other points scoring positions. In the other car, Thybes never got into the Top 20 and managed only one good showing before her car broke down. Mathilde's contract with the team was terminated after South Africa following Alfa Romeo's decision to buy the team's main championship entry. The buyout obviously meant a change in the car's choice as the Mercedes were replaced by the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti. ICE-3 Racing's team principal Lennart König stayed at the head to help Alfa Corse's start in the AutoReject organisation before the italian manufacturer fully took over the entry at the end of the season. Looking for Fagioli's replacement, König signed Antonio Delvecchio who had just made a huge impression in the paddock by winning the Privateer race at Treviso in the #92 Alfa car on his series debut.
