There is no rally in New Zealand for Formo

Adrien Fourmaux should be more patient. Forced to retire from five of the nine World Rally Championship (WRC) rounds he has competed in, French driver and co-driver Alexandre Correa was due to be lined up by Team M-Sport at the start of the schedule in New Zealand from September 29 to October 2. However, the pilot on one side and the team on the other confirmed that the Hab recording had finally been withdrawn. The decision comes after the withdrawal of the Acropolis rally linked to the damage to the Ford Puma Rally 1 car during the Belgian round of the World Rally Championship. “By mutual agreement with the team supporting me in this difficult period, we will not be at the start of Rally New Zealand,” Adrian Formo said on his Twitter account. In the current situation, the challenge for Alexander and I to participate in this tour is unfortunately much less. »

Formo is already preparing Catalonia

For its part, M-Sport confirmed that “after reassessing Adrien Fourmaux’s goals for the 2022 season”, they have taken the decision to withdraw the French player’s commitment to the 11th round of the tournament. The British team adds: “M-Sport remains fully committed to Adrien and this decision was made in consultation with him and our partners.” In the meantime, the interested party maintains that M-Sport “maintains all confidence” in the duo he forms with Alexandre Coria and that his season is far from over. “We are going back to Catalonia, a rally we love and we are already preparing for with the tests taking place this week,” the French driver added on the social network. In New Zealand, the British team will be able to count on Craig Brin and Gus Greensmith when Lorenzo Bertelli is also in a third car. For the final round of the season, in Japan next November, uncertainty reigns.
