Total triumph for Lucas Auer in the GT World Challenge Europe! The 30-year-old Mercedes works driver celebrated a superior victory with his German partner Maro Engel in the six hours of Jeddah, clinching overall victory at the last second.

This is the Tyrolean's second title this year after winning the Sprint Cup four weeks ago.
