French driver Nicolas LaPierre won both races in the Australian round of the A1 Grand Prix series at Eastern Creek on Sunday.

LaPierre took the chequered flag after starting from pole position in the 30-km sprint race from Portugal's Alvaro Parente and Brazilian Nelson Piquet junior.

The Frenchman then won a drama-filled feature event from Britain's Robbie Kerr and Switzerland's Neel Jani. The race was stopped several times because of a series of high-speed crashes.

The double victory took France to 71 points at the top of the standings. Brazil were second with 52 and Switzerland third on 47.
