Matthias Dolderer of Germany claimed his second win of the season in Budapest in some of the most difficult racing conditions the Red Bull World Championship has ever seen.

Due to the unseasonable weather in Budapest the Race Day schedule was cut short and Final 4 was not held.

That meant that Dolderer’s time of 58.653 seconds, the fastest in the Round of 8, was enough to see him claim the win although he will think himself lucky after collecting four seconds worth of penalties in the Round of 14.

Austria’s Hannes Arch was second with 58.942 and Matt Hall of Australia took third with 59.236 seconds.
