The 119th White Turf 2026 welcomes a new sponsor

Aston Martin has been announced as the new Car Partner of White Turf 2026 and will provide the official escort vehicle on the frozen lake. In addition, the British marque will sponsor a trotting race at each race weekend.

Like White Turf, Aston Martin is built on a long-standing tradition. Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, the brand is today globally renowned. Headquartered in Gaydon, England, Aston Martin designs, manufactures and exports vehicles sold in more than 50 countries worldwide. The marque stands for style, luxury, performance and exclusivity.

Thomas Walther, President of White Turf, welcomes the new partnership:
“Elegant design, powerful engines and a blend of craftsmanship and performance. This new Car Partner could not be a better match!”

Andreas Bareis, Regional President Aston Martin Europe, comments:
“White Turf offers Aston Martin a truly unique stage, combining sporting performance with the elegance of a discerning audience and an extraordinary setting. Switzerland remains one of our key markets, and Aston Martin’s participation in this iconic event underlines the close connection we share with the country, its heritage and its passionate automotive community. With its exceptional power, dynamic performance and beautiful design, the Aston Martin DBX S will fit perfectly into this environment. It mirrors the strength, precision and athleticism of the thoroughbred horses competing on the famous frozen lake.”

White Turf Racing Days
As previously announced, the White Turf Racing Days will take place on 8, 15 and 22 February 2026. Highlights include trotting races, flat races and the spectacular skikjöring, a discipline unique to White Turf. As every year, the tented village will offer a wide range of gastronomic concepts alongside a vibrant supporting programme.

White Turf Family Days
The White Turf Family Days will once again be held on Saturdays, on 14 and 21 February 2026, with an Opening Day for the whole family scheduled for 7 February 2026. The programme features the popular pony races and the mounted UBS Kids skikjöring races over 800 metres, designed to introduce young talents to this dynamic sport. For children aged five and over, the much-loved “skikjöring taxi” experience will also be available. Admission to the White Turf Family Days is free of charge.
