Royal Marine Taylor Lawrence, driver Brad Hall, Greg Cackett and Aaron Gulliver have become the most successful British four-man team in history.

They have finished the World Cup season second only to Germany's Francesco Friedrich.  

They needed to win today's final race of the season at Igls in Austria but missed out by just 19/100ths of a second.

The British quartet have made history and secured the first men's overall medal since 1995.

This season has been spectacular for the crew, with them only missing from the podium once.

And they are European champions and silver medalists in the world championships.

Next week Brad and Taylor compete in the final two races in two man.

There was also more good news for Team GB, as Army veteran Corie Mapp finished the para-sport season ranking in second place after winning his last race in Lillehammer.

The former British soldier simply said on Twitter: "Hell of a ride."
