M-Sport Ford driver Adrien Fourmaux aims for a strong performance in Portugal after his first Wolf Power Stage win in Croatia.
M-Sport Ford driver Adrien Fourmaux is setting his sights on a strong performance at the upcoming Vodafone Rally de Portugal bolstered by his recent success on the tarmac stages of the World Rally Championship in Croatia.
Fourmaux, who scored his first Wolf Power Stage victory last month in Zagreb, is eager to translate that momentum into a top finish on Portugal's challenging gravel tracks.
"That [Wolf Power Stage win] win was perfect for the confidence. It makes me think that now I can do it on the Tarmac, I need to do it on the gravel. For me, it’s good because I have always felt more comfortable on the gravel. I’m looking forward to Portugal.” Fourmaux remarked in an interview with the WRC portal.
