Classic 1956 Porsche 356A on snow tracks and skis heading to Antarctica
Fox News
A 1965 Porsche 356A converted with snow tracks and skis is on its way to Antarctica where vintage rally racer Rene Brinkerhoff will attempt to drive it 365 miles.
The car has been modified for the unique trip with a set of snow tracks in the rear, skis up front and a crevasse bar that she hopes she and her co-driver, polar adventurer Jason De Carteret, won’t need, aside from plugging into the solar panels attached to it.
Brinkerhoff is using the trip to raise awareness for her Valkyrie Racing charity, which is collecting donations to help fight human trafficking and is halfway toward its $1 million goal. None of the funds collected will be used to pay for the trip, which is being covered out of pocket and by sponsors.
The 65-year-old took up vintage rally racing about a decade ago and became interested in the cause during her travels.
