Ivanoff takes his second race win whilst the British pilot triumphs in Austria.

Martin Sonka (third) earned his first and well-deserved podium.

At first, it seemed that Lamb had slipped out of contention for the race win in the face of a dominating Hannes Arch. But as the Austrian took to the racetrack, something was clearly amiss as the split times consistently hit the red.

A penalty brought all hopes for another World Champion title crashing down and a stunned but rapturous Lamb celebrated his first ever title win.
