Fourmaux hopeful Rally2 success will boost 2024 WRC Rally1 bid
Adrien Fourmaux’s recent victory in the penultimate round of the WRC season is just one example of his impressive performances this year, including his first British Rally Championship title. After a tumultuous 2022 season filled with crashes, Fourmaux was moved from the Rally1 team to lead the Rally2 squad at M-Sport, and he has excelled in this position, winning all five BRC rounds he has competed in. M-Sport has recognized his success and has offered him a Rally1 drive at the upcoming WRC season finale in Japan. Fourmaux has expressed his desire to return to Rally1 full-time next year and hopes that his recent results will help make that happen. While there are rumors and discussions about his future plans, nothing has been decided yet. He considers M-Sport his home since 2020, but he is open to new opportunities depending on what is available next year. As he prepares for his Rally1 return in Japan, Fourmaux has no particular expectations, as it will be his first time tackling the unique asphalt stages there and he has had no testing beforehand. He is feeling confident and excited about the rally and aims to do well, even though he is unsure about his position compared to other competitors.
