More use of the simulator then a test for Fourmaux...

"We know that the car performs well in Greece, and we also have a test day before that. In Chile, there’s good grip. Tänak showed last year that the car works well on that kind of surface too,” Fourmaux previewed.

After Rally Finland, Fourmaux headed to the United States.

“I’ll spend a few days in the simulator there. Primarily, I’m preparing for the upcoming gravel rallies and trying to improve the car, but above all, I am already developing the car for the 2025 season,” Fourmaux said.

So Fourmaux in Ford in 2025 confirmed?

So Fourmaux in Ford in 2025 confirmed?

Not officially but everything points that way.

I guess it all depends on any offer from Hyundai.

Tänak has been signed a long time ago https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/tanak-concerned-by-neuville-one-year-hyundai-deal/

First reports have been since end of July: https://news.err.ee/1609409383/ott-tanak-to-compete-in-world-rally-championship-also-in-2025

[EstWRC]

That’s interesting that Tänak didn’t get to test it.

They tested last week with Tänak on Monday, Mikkelsen on Tuesday and Neuville on Wednesday

Another national rally used as a test by Hyundai. They are going hard at the 2025 car already.

[EstWRC]

They have no other option cause all of their test days are used for this year.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

They have no other option cause all of their test days are used for this year.

It's their choice and with all the Jokers they've implemented, quite necessary. But Abiteboul said recently that it's a waste of money travelling with staff for a short national rally.
