The British luxury sports car brand Aston Martin has been named the new official Car Partner of White Turf 2026. As part of this iconic winter event on the frozen Lake St. Moritz, Aston Martin will provide the official pace and escort vehicle on the lake. In addition, the brand will present a harness race as title sponsor at each race weekend.
Aston Martin and White Turf share a long-standing tradition rooted in heritage, excellence, and performance. Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, Aston Martin is today a globally renowned luxury automotive brand. Headquartered in Gaydon, England, the company designs, manufactures, and exports high-performance vehicles sold in more than 50 countries worldwide. The brand stands for style, luxury, performance, and exclusivity.
Thomas Walther, President of White Turf, welcomes the new partnership:
“Elegant design, powerful engines, and a unique blend of craftsmanship and performance – our new Car Partner could not be a better fit.”
Andreas Bareis, Regional President Aston Martin Europe, adds:
“White Turf offers Aston Martin a truly unique stage, combining sporting performance with the elegance of a sophisticated audience and an extraordinary setting. Switzerland remains one of our most important markets, and Aston Martin’s presence at this iconic event underlines the close connection we share with the country, its heritage, and its passionate automotive community. The Aston Martin DBX S, with its exceptional power, dynamic performance, and beautiful design, will fit perfectly into this environment. It reflects the strength, precision, and athleticism of the thoroughbred horses competing on the famous frozen lake.”
