“I worked with Fors Performance and Stéphane this year and saw how dedicated they are to Rallycross, comments Guerlain Chicherit. The support of Stéphane and the Finn Atte (Varsta, the team manager) for the creation of G-Fors will offer an opportunity for young talents to blossom into World RX. It will also allow me to keep an eye on young aspiring drivers in the hope of spotting future champions. »

The Renault Clio RS Supercar will be produced within the Fors company in Issoire (Puy-de-Dôme).

“I was very flattered when he asked me to take such responsibility for this new team, adds Atte Varsta who had previously worked with Marklund Motorsport and Albatec Racing. With this common experience, I am sure that we will achieve winners in a short time. I have already worked with Stéphane in rally and in rallycross for the last four years and his presence within the team is essential for the success of the project. »
