Alain Prost (Dacia Lodgy) takes win in last round of 2011/2012 Andros Trophy presented in Super Besse, and clinches his third title.
Before the last round of the season, Prost and Benjamin Rivière (Skoda Fabia) shared the championship lead, but Rivière had the edge since Prost still had to drop his two best results. Prost started clawing his way back by setting the best performance in the qualifying heats.
But, in Elite Sup Finale, Prost and Jacques Villeneuve’s Skoda Fabia crashed, which put both cars out of the race, which was eventually red flagged.
The organizers allowed Prost to get his car fixed for the second start, and the four time F1 world champion took win, and secured the title. Rivière finally takes fourth place of the day, and third in the championship standings, behind Jean-Philippe Dayraut.
Villeneuve took sixth position overall in the qualifying heats, but his crash with Prost dropped him down to 8th overall.
