RetroClassic ® – Antartica Ice Challenge 356 – Valkyrie Racing Official Collaboration Classic Rally Car Mens T-Shirt</p>.
We have partnered with Valkyrie Racing and Renée Brinkerhoff to produce an official range of t-shirts celebrating their round the World Rallys Porsche 356 and to help them raise awareness and funds for child trafficking charity, Valkyrie Gives.
Valkyrie Racing is a female-driven race team on a mission to combat child trafficking and this design is based on Renée’s 1956 Porsche 356A on the Antartica Ice Challenge 356. The Porsche 356 had been modified to endure the freezing temperatures and extreme environment by Chief Engineer Kieron Bradley. It took 2 years of development to turn the Porsche 356 into an ice ready beast fitted with skis and tracks fitted for the polar terrain. After more than 18-months of re-engineering the road-going vintage Porsche for Valkyrie Racing’s coldest and most dangerous endeavor, UK-based Senior Chassis Deign Engineer Kieron Bradley has succeeded in creating a on-of-a-kind ice machine, it’s an engineering marvel. With reinforcement to the chassis ranging from aesthetics to safety and environmental considerations, a combination of skis, tracks and a crevasse bar with a dual-sided solar panel are the outward retrofits first noticed, with a particularly bold and aggressive design for the overall exterior. According to Bradley, not only do the skis make a good looking technologically advanced statement, but they were specifically designed to be supported by all the other components to make less of an impact on the snow than a footprint. “The ski and track combination increase the flotation by a much as 300% when compared to Antarctic 4X4 support vehicles on the 42″ tires -and the 356 will be gliding and leading the tracks throughout the entire journey.”
In 2017, Valkyrie Racing decided to take its platform and extreme rally race on all 7 continents. In a 1956 Porsche 356A, they competed in some of the most extreme rallies in the world from the red roads of East Africa, to the deserts of Mongolia, they’ve been around the world – culminating in the boldest challenge of them all – 356 frozen miles in sub-zero Antarctica. In December 2021, they finally accomplished their goal driving nearly 20,000 total miles and becoming a global 1st in history.
These efforts have so far raised more than $762,552 dollars. Profits of our collaboration and all donations to the Valkyrie Gives’ 501c3 non-profit are distributed amongst carefully vetted frontline NGOs around the globe working to combat child trafficking.
