Richard Mille

That most innovative of luxury watch brands Richard Mille has long had a close association with sport, including a particular focus on the fast- moving world of motorsport. So it’s fitting that one the brand’s latest ventures is a new way of nurturing the racing talent of the future. The Young Talent

Academy, a competition to identify the next generation of track stars, will allow 20 young kart drivers from around the world to try their hand at driving single- seater cars.

They will assemble for two days at the Paul Ricard circuit at Le Castellet in southern France to be assessed on their driving skills, with the winner getting the once- in- a- lifetime chance to race in the

2019 FIA French Formula 4 Championship.
