Last year, Villeneuve started the season “ just for fun”. But Villeneuve had so much fun that he ran the entire series.
The Andros Trophy is a France-based professional ice racing series that showcases “Silhouette” cars that are powered by 375-bhp V-6 normally aspirated engines, and fitted with four-wheel steering and all-wheel drive systems. Other former F1 drivers will also be back, such as Alain Prost and Olivier Panis.
