2016–17 Andros Trophy

The 2016–17 Andros Trophy is the 27th season of the Andros Trophy, a motor racing championship for automobile ice racing and motorcycle ice racing held in France and Andorra. The season began in Val Thorens on 3 December 2016 and finished on 28 January 2017 at Super Besse.

Jean-Baptiste Dubourg is the defending Elite Pro drivers' champion.

Every driver participates in an electric Andros Trophy car.

Points were awarded for both the two Qualifying sessions, Super Pole and the Super Final. Only the best result of both Qualifying sessions counted. The best time of a driver decided the classification in case of a tie break. For example if Driver A became first in Q1 and eighth in Q2 and Driver B became second in Q1 and first in Q2, but Driver A set the best time, then A would receive the most points. The sum of the points received after Qualifying and Super Pole decided the starting grid for the Super Final. There was no Super Pole in the Elite championship. Points were awarded based on the results as shown in the chart below.
In Lans-en-Vercors and Super Besse the field was split up into two. The top eight drivers after Qualifying (and Super Pole) raced in a normal Super Final and the other drivers raced in a Final. Because eight drivers raced in the Super Final, the winner of the Final was classified as ninth.

The Électrique championship had the same scoring system as the Elite Pro and Elite championships only with different amount of points and the Super Final was called a Final. Also in contrast to the Elite Pro championship, there was no Super Pole.

Points are awarded based on finishing positions of the Final and Super Final as shown in the chart below.

In the Elite Pro, Elite and Electrique championships each driver's two lowest-scoring rounds were dropped from their total.

Italics – Fastest time in (Super) Final

Only the points earned by the best driver of a car counted towards the teams' championship, with the exception of the Elite entries of Mazda France and Rhônes Alpes Sport 38. Mazda's Thoral and Wolff switched car numbers after Round 3, but all points scored in the season by both drivers counted. Also points scored by two RAC 38 Elite drivers, Cadeddu and Delage, counted. Only the best two cars in Elite Pro and the best two cars in Elite of one team were eligible to score points.
