This wont be as dramatic as the ALMS, Schnitzer isn't looking for aces its more like an amusement adventure drive/ride. The car has a full spec safety cage and the car is insured by the team. They will teach you at the track event for sure if you need it. I shall attach an article from Jan. 2013.

This wont be as dramatic as the ALMS, Schnitzer isn't looking for pro-drivers. It's more like an amusement adventure drive/ride. The car has a full spec safety cage and the car is insured by the team. They will teach you anything you need to know at the ice track event for sure. 

 

I shall attach an article from Jan. 2013 ice race. Photos can be seen on the link below. I shall copy and paste the whole article if I'm allowed on here.

The Winter Ice Trophy 2013 was held 24-27 January on a 2.5km circuit in the skiing town of Altenmarkt, Austria.

The Historic Ice Trophy has been held annually since 2005, open to classic cars and recent classics up to and including model year 1993. The six-hour race, which was held for the second time as part of the Historic Ice Trophy event, saw more than 20 vehicles/teams competing with up to four drivers per car. There’s nothing else like it in Europe in this form and it presents an exacting challenge for professionals and aspiring amateurs alike.

 

BMW Group Classic took part in the 9th annual Historic Ice Trophy with a well-known driver line-up and an illustrious 1969 BMW 2002 Ti works rally car, earning a place on the podium by finishing 2nd in the ‘Up to 1972′ class. Consistency enabled the BMW team to secure a place in the top 10 overall as well, with the driving skill and class of the Cecotto father-and-son line-up proving decisive. Johnny Cecotto Snr – a multiple motorcycle world champion and BMW touring car champion – and his son, successful GP2 driver Johnny Cecotto Jr, soon got to grips with the conditions and guided the 1969 works rally car around the ice-covered course with great élan. “It was a new and extremely exciting experience for me to drive in this ice race,” explained 23-year-old Cecotto Jr during the podium ceremony. The third member of the driver team was Florian Moser, a history expert at BMW Group Classic.

 

The BMW 2002 TI can look back on an eventful history. The 190-hp rally car competed most notably in the European Rally Championship in 1970 and 1971, with Finn Rauno Aaltonen and Poland’s Sobieslaw Zasada in the driver’s seat. “Sobi” piloted the BMW 2002 TI to victory in the 1971 Rally Poland and BMW also won the 1971 European Rally Championship with Zasada at the wheel. That title win crowned the company’s rally racing campaign – one that had started in the late 1960s under the watch of then BMW racing department boss Helmut Bein – in impressive, victorious style.

Please E-mail me and I will let you know the details, getting from the USA to Austria. I would recommend departing a little early and visiting the Schnitzer Motorsport shop in Germany it is only an hour and 30 minutes from Munich on the Autobahn. After that then jump on a plane or drive the rest of the way to Austria, SCHNITZER  Motorsport GmbH will be driving the transport carrying the classic race car to Austria for the ICE Trophy racing event. It is a real treat for any BMW AG Motorsport enthusiast and heck since you flew all that way you should see Munich Germany and Austria.

 

Orbitz has some amazing deals round trip airfare with hotel, rental car "Navigation is a must", travelers insurance and even a euro phone for the trip "Comes in very handy."
