Adrien Fourmaux prepares for potential maiden WRC victory at Rally Chile

Summary

Hyundai Motorsport driver Adrien Fourmaux enters this weekend’s Rally Chile seeking his first career World Rally Championship victory. Hyundai sporting director Andrew Wheatley stated that the French driver’s performance level, highlighted by nine stage wins during the recent event in Paraguay, suggests he is ready to contend for the top spot. Last year, Fourmaux displayed strong pace at this event before finishing in third place. The upcoming rally is expected to be largely dry, though competitors face abrasive stages that carry a high risk of punctures. To assist teams, officials have increased the total tyre allocation for Rally1 crews by eight. Fourmaux will start the event from fifth position on the road.
