The Porsche 356 is an automotive icon, symbolizing the beginning era of an automaker we know as one of the world’s leading performance car brands today. Not many have dared to modify an original 356 through the years but the Valkyrie Racing team doesn’t really seem to care much about authenticity, as long as the vehicle serves its purpose. And in its case, that mission is raising awareness of victims of human trafficking.
Meet Renée Brinkerhoff, the woman behind the Project 356 World Rally Tour, an expedition and humanitarian effort, who recently visited The International Concours of Elegance (The ICE) at St. Moritz in Switzerland where she lapped the ice track with her heavily modified car. At a glance, a 356 doesn’t sound like the perfect choice for an ice race, though this particular one has exactly what it takes to conquer way more powerful machines – snow tracks.
