The Australian driver took his eighth consecutive title, while the Netherlands captured the Team Driving gold in Aachen.

Previous medalists Ijsbrand Chardon and Christoph Sandmann will compete alongside their offspring, but will anyone be able to beat Boyd Exell?

The Australian driver has been unbeatable this season, with four wins from four starts to cement his spot at the top of the rankings.

The first leg of the new season for four-in-hand teams and drivers saw the Australian prevail despite a wobble in the first obstacle round.

The Australian current world #1-ranked four-in-hand driver and his team were polished and consistent over the two days of competition.

It was a record-breaking 7th consecutive individual gold for Boyd Exell and the 12th Dutch team gold in Szilvásvárad, Hungary.

The title race is tighter than ever thanks to Belgium’s Dries Degrieck, who has upset the applecart and put himself into serious contention.

The Belgian farrier added his name to the four-in-hand driving elite and sealed his place in the World Cup Final in Bordeaux next month.

The Australian was dogged the entire way by Dutch rival Bram Chardon as teams have only one more qualifying leg to go before the Final in Bordeaux.

Five days of jumping, dressage, and driving competition drew to a close on Sunday with a win for Martin Fuchs in the Rolex Grand Prix.
