The Safari Rally continues to wreak havoc and it is not Adrien fourmaux who will say the opposite. The Habs once again had to end their day prematurely in Kenya. For the first special this Saturday, the driver M-Sport wanted to bounce back after his retirement on SS5. But everything did not go as planned and a puncture quickly tarnished the atmosphere in the Frenchman's clan.

« This morning we started to do a good special and after 12 km we had a rear puncture. We changed the wheel on special, we didn't want to damage the car », Explains Adrien Fourmaux at the microphone of Canal +. After putting on the mechanic's hat, the Habs were not at the end of their troubles.
A few kilometers further, it was the mechanics which betrayed it. “ We were able to drive for 5 km and something broke on the left rear of the suspension. So, we tried to change it on the road but the problem was that the transmission was out and we couldn't get it back in and we didn't want to damage the rear differential. »
