The French FFSA Rallye Team with three drivers in 2020, Loubet's WRC debut

The French FFSA Team Rally will trust three crews during the 2020 season. The top of the basket in WRC will be occupied by the outgoing WRC 2 world champions, Pierre-Louis Loubet and Benjamin Landais. Their program will be determined in the coming weeks.

“This is a very important and positive new step for me, rejoices Pierre-Louis Loubet. It's a great satisfaction and I'm very proud to wear the colors of the French team again. 

There will be a lot of work this season and I hope that the support of the FFSA will help me progress throughout the year. The federal supervision, which I know very well after my three seasons under the colors of the FFSA, will be very beneficial for me on a technical and sporting level. »

In addition, reigning French champions Yohan Rossel and Benoît Fulcrand join WRC 3 with the help of Citroën Racing. “I am very happy to rejoin the French team. It is an exceptional opportunity to be able to participate in an international program under the colors of the FFSA.

The sporting monitoring and federal supervision of the FFSA will allow us to prepare as well as possible and put all the chances on our side during the season. This season, I approach it with confidence because I know the manufacturer, the team and the car. The objective will be to perform and score good points even if you have to be careful and not make mistakes. I am excited to begin ! »

Finally, as previously announced, Adrien fourmaux and Renaud Jamoul will participate in all rounds of WRC 2 with the M-Sport Ford team and the new Fiesta MkII R5. 

“I learned of my selection with great joy. It is an honor for me to wear the colors of the French team and the FFSA again this year. After the Youth Rally, the French Junior Rally Championship and my first season within the Équipe de France collective, this year will be a continuation of the last three. 

Au cours de la saison 2019, j’ai accumulé beaucoup d’expérience et découvert la plupart des terrains auxquels nous sommes confrontés en Championnat du Monde des Rallyes. J’aborde donc la saison 2020 avec plus de confiance car je ferai face à moins d’inconnus et l’objectif sera d’être performant. Les enjeux seront grands car je représente à la fois les couleurs de l’Équipe de France et celles de M-Sport."
