Fourmaux hypes upcoming episodes of 'More than Machine'

The brand-new series offers a behind-the-scenes look at M-Sport Ford’s drivers, engineers, technicians and team members throughout the 2024 season. Episode one, which debuted to wide acclaim on 22 August, focused on the iconic Safari Rally Kenya.

Today’s (Thursday 12 September) second episode airs at 15:00CET on WRC’s official YouTube channel and takes viewers straight into the action at Croatia Rally.

“I was pleased with the first one,” Fourmaux told WRC.com, “but I think the next ones are even better.

“I think it’s really interesting [to have a series like this]. You see another side of rallying and how we play, and that’s why I say that more is coming. We have things that we have not seen in the first episode and I know that it’s coming.

“It’s really positive and, if we can bring more fans to rallying, it’s a good thing. We need it for M-Sport but I think we also need it for all of the teams, because I think there are a lot of stories that we can talk about and there is some nice storytelling. Hopefully people can watch it and get interested.”

Fourmaux was in action at EKO Acropolis Rally Greece last week, but a broken suspension arm denied him in his bid for a maiden WRC victory. He later restarted, finishing second in the Super Sunday standings and triumphing in the Wolf Power Stage.

“I think we’ve showed this year that we can be fast in all kinds of conditions: fast gravel, slow or rough gravel and Tarmac also,” he said. “It’s really promising for the future and we’ve done a good job with the team to improve the car on both surfaces.”
