Important information: Audi plans the event at locations and on days when the required weather conditions can normally be expected. The event will be held on an outdoor icy surface specially prepared for this purpose. The safe and high-quality implementation of the event depends on the weather conditions required for the formation of ice (constant temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius) for a sufficient period of time before and during the event. Nevertheless, even shortly before or during the event, unpredictable weather conditions may occur, which prevent the event from being held for safety reasons.
Audi therefore reserves the right to cancel the event and/or the entire trip at short notice prior to the start of the trip. Audi recommends that you take out travel cancellation insurance or book tickets for your arrival and departure that can be cancelled at short notice.
