Mettet is always a popular stop on the FIA European Rallycross Championship calendar, and this summer, the Circuit Jules Tacheny will play host to the penultimate round in the title fight – setting the scene for a sensational scrap in both classes.
Patrick O’Donovan is the early-season championship leader in Euro RX1 following his second consecutive ‘Magic Weekend’ triumph. The rising British star is sure to face stiff opposition, however, from Höljes runner-up Mika Liimatainen and team-mate Mikko Ikonen in their rapid Hyundai i20s, not to mention Volland Racing pairing Damian Litwinowicz and Yury Belevskiy, Sivert Svardal in his family-run Volkswagen Polo and series sophomore Máté Benyó (Peugeot 208).
