More than 50 000 spectators packed into the Stade de France, near Paris, to watch F1 legend Alain Prost and his Dacia Duster sweep the board in the non-championship Trophée Andros meeting.
After winning the pursuit race, Alain Prost was joined by one-off team-mate Evens Stievenart to claim the grand finale, too.
Dacia and Prost also won the weekend's popularity contest after making an indelible mark on the season-ending gala held on Saturday in Paris.
The semi-final saw Alain Prost eliminate former Monaco GP winner Olivier Panis by a score of two wins to nil, which qualified the Dacia driver for a bill-topping final against Jean-Philippe Dayraut.
Prost then promptly polished off the winter's Trophée Andros winner – once again by a score of two heats to nil – to get the day off to a flying start for Prost and Dacia. "It was important for us to win the pursuit race, especially against Jean-Philippe Dayraut," observed the Team Dacia driver.
"Pursuit races are a very specific exercise and I had never won one at the Stade de France until today,” said the former four-time world champion.
The last virile eight-lap race saw Alain Prost take the flag in first place to hand Dacia a whitewash success at the Stade de France. "We really wanted to perform well today, and we did," beamed Alain Prost. "It wasn't easy, because I picked up a rear-right puncture, but the finale was pretty chaotic for everyone. It was important for Dacia to win in front of the packed grandstands here."
Prost bested Jean-Philippe Dayraut, racing a BMW 1 Series, in the final by two heats to nil.
