The Ford squad has had a strong start to the 2024 season, with Adrien Fourmaux securing third-place finishes in Sweden and Kenya, propelling him to third in the championship standings.

This year, the Puma has shown reliability in the capable hands of Fourmaux and Gregoire Munster, even conquering Kenya’s rough stages without any mechanical hiccups. Fourmaux’s notable success has placed him in the spotlight, becoming the first driver since 2006 to achieve consecutive WRC podium finishes. M-Sport Ford World Rally Team boss, Millener, commended Fourmaux’s mature performance and highlighted the Puma’s reliability, signaling a promising season ahead for the team. The team aims to build on their success and secure podium finishes on various terrains as they march forward in the championship.
