Dayraut already in the lead

The opening round of Andros Trophy 2009/2010 allowed Jean-Philippe Dayraut to place himself at the top of the general classification. In Val Thorens, the Skoda Fabia driver immediately performed well by winning the first race. “ Val Thorens is a circuit that I like. He has hardly smiled on me in the past, but curiously, in the two years that I have been driving a Škoda, I have found the path to victory. Since last season, our Fabia has progressed, it remains very reliable », Indicates Dayraut.

If he aims for the title again at the end of the season, the leader of the general classification with four points ahead of Alain Prost, knows that it will not be a cakewalk, as evidenced by his legendary duel with Alain Prost (Dacia Duster) during race 2. I'm happy that Alain Prost won the 2nd race, he has a good car, he was the lightest of us all on the 2nd day and he was particularly motivated after a failed first day. He will be my rival No. 1. But we will also have to take into account Olivier Panis. He was unlucky on the first day, but already climbed to the 2nd step of the podium on Sunday ».

The competitors will have the opportunity to do battle again this weekend in Andorra where the second round of the season will take place. For the occasion, Prost will carry 60 kg of ballast while his number 1 competitor will only have to carry 10 kg of ballast, a consequence of his arrival outside the top 3 in Val Thorens.
