Fourmaux lined up at the Jim Clark Rally

When the team M-Sport entered a Ford Fiesta Rally2 for Adrien fourmaux and Alexandre Coria at the start of the Malcolm Wilson Rally, the idea of persevering in this competition already existed. For this to happen, the French had to win. This is exactly what they did by registering the maximum score. “ Once per season, we can play a joker which allows us to increase the points total even further, explains the former rifleman. We are 12 ahead in the championship and the team decided that we were going to continue this experience. »

First^e round of the BRC will take place on the tarmac of the Jim Clark Rally in May (26-27). It will come after two days of testing in Ireland during which M-Sport will work to make the Fiesta Rally2 more efficient. The French pair will have previously played Croatia (April 20-23) and Portugal (May 11-14), which means they have a busy schedule. “ The team wants me to spend as much time as possible in the car, smiles the northerner. I'm not going to like it. »

If the commitment deployed in WRC2 did not pay off nor in Monte-Carlo (5^e) nor in Mexico (7^e), Fourmaux won the other races he took part in at the Jännerrallye in Austria, in Andros Trophy to Super Besse and Malcolm Wilson. For the Frenchman, he can only hope that this process will allow him to quickly find the passenger compartment of a Rally1.
