MULLER TO MAKE ANDROS COMEBACK
Former British Touring
Car Championship star and four-time World Touring Car champion Yvan Muller will make a return to the Andros Trophy ice racing series this winter.
Muller will race an all-electric Andros Sport machine in the Alps-based series carrying Number 10, in tribute to his 10 titles and 48 race victories in the popular winter series, competing in the Elite Pro division.
He will share the car with Hugo Delacour, who will race in the Elite class.
Muller claimed his 10 Andros Trophy titles between 1996 and 2006, and following three terms as manager of the M Racing squad will return to the drivers’seat with the team, which will also run Muller’s nephew Yann Ehrlacher in the Elite Pro category.
The Andros Trophy season will begin on December 3-4 at its traditional opening round in Val Thornes, and for the first time this winter, will visit the Tignes resort to race on a circuit located 1550 meters above sea level. The 11-round campaign will conclude with a singleheader weekend at Super Besse on January 28.
