Vienna wins on home turf as it hosts first tram driver world cup

25 tram-driving teams from across the world battled it out in the first ever Tram Driver World Championship held in Vienna, Austria on Saturday. Spectators gathered in front of the Austrian capital's neo-Gothic city hall to witness the competing teams from as far as Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong and San Diego showed off their driving skills.

Organisers said they expected about 50,000 visitors from all over the world to attend the championship, which was being livestreamed. Next year's European championships are due to take place in Warsaw, Poland.
