James Fulton new co-driver for Craig Breen

Afin de disputer l’ultime manche de la saison et d’entamer immédiatement la préparation de la suivante, le pilote M-Sport a fait appel à James Fulton. Âgé de 30 ans (2 de moins que Breen) celui-ci a débuté sa carrière en 2012 dans des épreuves régionales. S’il a beaucoup couru dans son pays, Fulton possède une petite expérience en mondial où il totalise 10 départs. Ce dernier n’est en revanche jamais monté dans une WRC/Rally1 and he will perhaps lack a little experience to help his driver cope with the pressure that rests on his shoulders at the end of the championship. While Craig Breen greatly needs serenity to record results, the “youth” of Fulton at this level will be a new parameter to take into account. “ I'm excited to have this opportunity, he commented. Reaching the top was something I had been aiming for for some time now, just like any other fellow. I have already worked with Craig during test sessions including the one in Spain recently. I'm really looking forward to growing my relationship with him and the team. »
