FOURMAUX STILL AN M-SPORT DRIVER DESPITE JAPAN ENTRY AXE
Adrien Fourmaux still has a future at M-Sport despite his Rally1 entry being pulled for a third time this season.
The Frenchman was meant to complete a full campaign with the British team in 2022 but has largely underperformed with several high-profile accidents blighting his progress.
Fourmaux, who was eighth overall in Spain last month, had been entered for Rally Japan but M-Sport confirmed last week that its 27-year-old rising star would not be contesting the Tarmac-based season closer in the Far East.
A statement from M-Sport read: “With high costs associated with long-haul events, the team and Adrien feel it is within everyone’s interests to focus on Adrien’s programme for 2023 with M-Sport in the WRC as well as with its development projects”.
