Team France emerged victorious at the Race of Champions as it bested Team Australia in the Nations Cup final.

The French duo of rally legend Sebastien Loeb and Formula 2 star Victor Martins were consistent performers all the way through the contest.

Hosted in Sydney, Team Australia had local support, with the driver line-up consisting of Will Brown and Brodie Kostecki.

It produced an upset in the semi-final when it knocked Team Germany out of the competition.

Germany's line-up consisted of four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel and former F1 driver Mick Schumacher, which has been the case across the last several years.

Vettel once shared a successful partnership at the yearly event with Mick's father Michael - however Schumcaher Jr. and Vettel are yet to triumph in the Nations Cup together.

En route to the win, Martins also knocked out Team Finland which consisted of 10-time grand prix winner Valtteri Bottas.
