France's premier ice-racing series stages its sixth race of the season at the Hautes Alpes resort of Serre Chevalier.
A glamorous and spectacular event, the Andros Trophy has been running since 1990. Attracting big name drivers and manufacturers, the event is made up of seven races in mountain resorts with a grand final pitting the leaders against each other.
The ice track on which the race is fought is prepared weeks in advance, being 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.
The race itself is fought in two categories, Elite and Promotion, each of which are split into two heats. Driver and co-pilot teams are divided into two group for both heats and finals, guaranteeing more races for onlookers. The winning team is the one with the most points after the finals.
