No Fourmaux for WRC New Zealand Rally 2022
Hi, friends!
We won't see French new hope Adrien Fourmaux at WRC Rally New Zealand because his team M-Sport Ford pulled out his entry after serial crashes Fourmaux had this season.
The same happened last year to Finn Teemu Suninen who was dismissed from WRC team to Rally2 category because of the crashes. Adrien Fourmaux did the mistake with telling that he should be in that Ford Fiesta WRC for Rally Finland because he obviously had a contract with the team for this season.
After all, Suninen quit the team and went to the privateers. At the moment he drives for Hyundai with their Rally2 machinery. And Fourmaux?! He has the same destiny as Suninen. But he is not delegated to the WRC2 category. He wasn't present at Acropolis Rally Greece with the team's excuse that he destroyed the car so much at the previous rally that they can't fix it in time. But that was only an excuse.
The real truth is that Adrien Fourmaux has been benched now for two rallies (Acropolis and New Zealand). M-Sport Ford WRC team revealed also that they stay strong with him for the following rally which will be in Spain in October.
We don't know what is Fourmaux's future but it doesn't look bright at the top of rallying at the moment because of all the crashes he had this season.

I'd really love to drive one of these super awesome cars down a dirt road super fast...
These super cars are called Hybrid Rally1 cars and it is a top category of the sport at the moment. It is possible to buy them and the price is at least 500k€ per car. You must have some spare package but I don't know the price for this. Only M-Sport rents them and the price is around 200€ per rally kilometer. I guess that minimum is 100km, just like when we rent the rally cars of the lower classes.
But you can rent some low budget rally cars and have the same fun as in these animals cars.... :)
I grew up driving fast on dirt roads and never imagined that there would be a sport around driving very fast on dirt roads.
I think I need to start saving if I'm going to attempt to afford one of these cars!!! LoL
Hopefully my investments here will pay off!
Sure! Hive is already big and we can expect only bigger things in future. :)
I can't wait!!! Let's go and keep investing in us here.
Of course! :)
