Mettetal rewarded with the Volant Winfield 2019
The 2019 Winfield Volant selections crowned the youngster Jules Mettetal (finalist in the FIA Junior World Championship Karting 2017). Organized on the Paul-Ricard circuit (Var), they made it possible to evaluate the talent of 18 teenage drivers through several days of exercises.
