Laponie Ice Driving could not have dreamed of a better ambassador than Yvan MULLER, the winner of 10 titles in the Andros trophy, a WTCC World Champion title, and 2 WTCC Vice world Champion titles.

There are only 5 drivers to have won a FIA title: Alain Prost in Formula 1, Sébastien Loeb and Didier Auriol in rally, Jean-Louis Schlesser in rally-raid and Yvan MULLER in WTCC.

Born in 1969 in the Haut-Rhin, it was through his sister Cathy (already a professional driver) that he was introduced to the motor-racing world. He did his first circuits 11 (in 1980) behind the wheel of a go-kart and won a European Champion title in 1986.

1987 marked his passage to cars as he became part of the famous Filière ELF : the racing-driver’s school. For 5 years, at the wheel of a Formula Renault and then a Formula 3 he was to show his talent, accumulating the “top 3” positions in the champonships. In 1992, he left for England where he won the title of Formula 2 driver in his first season.

In 1994, he changed over from single-seaters to saloons as he took part in the part in the French Super championship on a BMW and in his second season, he became the champion with 9 victories.

The following two years were devoted to Italian and German Tourism championships before going back to the English tracks for the BTCC in 1998. During the 8 seasons in BTCC, Yvan, with the Vauxhall team, made 36 wins, 4 times vice-champion and undisputed champion in the field in 2003.

In 2006 he took part in the World Touring Car Championship, the WTCC, with SEAT and that year, he came fourth, then 2nd in 2007 (missing the title by a hair’s breadth). Then in 2008, he literally flew over the championship which he won with an advance of 26 points, draping himself in his first title of world champion, which pulled him up to the level of the most famous French drivers of his generation. 2009 was the year of another title of vice world Champion, again with SEAT.
It is for the last race on the mythical track of macao on 20/11/2011, at the end of a season that he would have dominated from the beginning, though an outsider position on the paper, that Yvan MULLER did take his third title of World Champion WTCC 2011.

In 1995 at the same time as the French Super Touring Championship he took part in the Andros Trophy. The first year brought him the first win. His second season in the Andros was already a title season, but above all the first in a long series as Yvan MULLER has 48 wins and 10 titles in the trophy ANDROS !!!!

And don’t forget the 5 wins out of 5 participations in the 24 heures de Chamonix.

This incredible record will enable Yvan to become the undisputed master of the discipline.
