Fourmaux has climbed to the upper echelons of the WRC standings this season, securing four podium finishes. The Ford driver has claimed third place in Sweden, Kenya, Poland, and Finland. Now, he’s aiming for an even better result.
The WRC continues this weekend in Chile, where Fourmaux dreams of a victory, provided everything falls into place.
“It’s going to be all new for me on this event, last year I was back in France commentating for Canal+! It’s nice to be competing in South America, and I’m excited to discover Chile and the rally itself,” Fourmaux says.
“Looking at the videos it seems to be quite a fast and smooth rally in some stages, but also quite technical in places – it’s not rough like Greece. We still want to get our first win so we are going to try again on this final gravel rally of the season.”
Even though Fourmaux is competing in Chile for the first time, team principal Richard Millener also believes the French driver has a good chance of success.
“Adrien and Alex (co-driver Coria) will be taking on this event for the first time but I strongly believe they are up to the task,” Millener summarizes.
“They’ve proven their pace on gravel with four podiums on loose surfaces already this season, notably in Finland. I’m excited to see what they can do here.”
Rally Chile will feature a total of 16 special stages, covering approximately 307 kilometers.
