INT: Muller wins Andros round in Andorra

The 30-year-old French driver, who competed for Vauxhall in the BTCC this year, started from pole position and kept the lead at the start, despite heavy fog, and a track more ground than ice at the ends of the circuit.

Further back, Pierre Colard, driving a Peugeot 306, found himself sandwiched between Eric Helary's Opel Astra and Hervé Knapick's Citroen Saxo.

Helary survived to take fourth place, but Knapick had to abandon, and Colard finished four laps down.

Muller took the flag six-tenths of a second ahead of Emmanuel Collard's Nissan Micra, with Marcel Tarrès in third place.

In the other final, Opel's Jean-Philippe Dayraut made good advantage of his first pole position, and kept Jean-Pierre Malcher's Nissan and the rest of the field behind him.

He took the chequered flag ahead of Malcher, with Bertrand Balas just managing to take third ahead of a charging James Ruffier.

Overall, the final races had little effect on the qualifying clasification.

Muller took his 20th career victory, ahead of Opel team-mate Jean-Philippe Dayraut.

Emmanuel Collard confirmed his promising start at Val Thorens by claiming a podium finish at only his second attempt, while his more experienced Nissan team-mate Jean-Pierre Malcher finished fourth.

A four-car pile up at the start of the first promotion race saw Jean-Noël Lanctuit, category winner at Val Thorens, forced to abandon.

Victory went to Jean-Michel Neyrial.

In the second race, Guyhlem Dussaucy's Micra avoided the crowds and immediately started building up an impressive lead.

While a three-way battle for second place went on behind him, he crossed the line 1.4 seconds ahead of the Subaru Forester of Christophe Balas, with TV presenter Alexandre Debanne in third place.

Promotion victory in Andorra went to Guyhlem Dussaucy, driving a Nissan Micra, with the Subaru driver Christophe Balas second and Jean-Michel Neyrial third.

Val Thorens winner Jean-Noël Lanctuit was fourth.
