Andros Trophy - The "Superfinal"

The "Superfinal"

On 14 February 1999, the series held a "Superfinal" at the Stade de France on the outskirts of Paris. Using 700 tonnes of ice, an oval track was established around the edge of the stadium, allowing for racing in front of around 60,000 people, with no championship points at stake.

The Superfinal was held at the Stade de France for three years, before moving to an oval track at Noeux Les Mines in 2002. No Superfinal was held in 2003, but returned to the Stade de France in 2004.

In 2005 the races were held at Saint-DiƩ, and once again at the Stade de France in 2006. Various other locations have been used, but as of 2011 and 2012 it appears that the Superfinal has found a permanent home at Clermont / Super Besse.
