France's ice-racing series stages its seventh meeting of the season at Super-Besse.
A glamorous and spectacular event, the Andros Trophy has been running since 1990. Attracting big name drivers and manufacturers, it consists of seven races in mountain resorts, with a grand finale pitting the leaders against each other.
The ice track on which the race is run is prepared weeks in advance, and ritually sprayed with water to ensure an even and stable coating of ice. However, the often capricious weather conditions make for exciting viewing when ice melts or forms.
