From his last visit to Sardinia, Adrien fourmaux retains shared memories. There is that of a very good weekend at the wheel of the Ford Fiesta Rally2, but also that of a very good weekend… until the Power Stage on Sunday.
Before taking the start, the Northerner had to reach the finish to ensure victory while he was 31 seconds ahead of his closest pursuer, Andreas Mikkelsen. But a section of aquaplaning a little less than 8 kilometers from the goal decided otherwise. The rock hit outside left him on the floor.
Back on the islands of mixed feelings like he described himself personally after his mistake, Adrien Fourmaux, however, appeared relaxed. Fourth in the championship, the driver M-Sport feels like he and his team have an opportunity to put on a good performance. Perhaps to score a third podium this season?
« We have always been competitive in Sardinia, he claimed from WRC.com. But we never finished there in one piece. I broke a suspension arm, or another, or another. I was always competitive there, but there were mistakes. With the slightest mistake, the suspension arm was broken. No matter, the pace is there, I know the stages, and I'm more reliable than before... So it should be fine. We will try to make a good rally. We're going to be fourth on the road, so maybe that will help us »
