The Frenchman starts next month’s Malcolm Wilson Rally (11 March) in a car which has a development programme running through the coming season. M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson confirmed Fourmaux’s entry on the event which carries his name.
Wilson said: “We’ve got a lot of work coming with the car this year and this event is a good chance to continue that process of ongoing development. On top of that, it’s a good opportunity for Adrien to get more seat time on an event that’s obviously local to us.”
Fourmaux’s Jänner Rallye win in January demonstrated the pace of both car and driver, with M-Sport team principal Richard Millener feeling the dry conditions in Monte-Carlo didn’t help the Fiesta.
