The highly rated Frenchman will be key in Hyundai’s mission to defeat Toyota
After narrowly missing out on the World Rally Championship manufacturers' title to Toyota, Hyundai has changed its strategy for 2025 by employing a full-time third car driver it hopes can deliver the prize. Adrien Fourmaux is the driver tasked with the honour of piloting a third factory Hyundai i20 N Rally1 in next season’s expanded 14-round calendar, in a move that team principal Cyril Abiteboul hopes will offer the Korean marque the final piece of its WRC jigsaw.
“When you make a decision you hope it is the right decision, but I think so,” Abiteboul added when asked if Fourmaux could be the missing piece of Hyundai’s plans. “Again, because our approach is slightly different, we want to focus a bit more on stability of crews, and that is what we are doing with Adrien. He started his career on a really strong foot with what he has done in junior FFSA programmes and then his first season in WRC2 was very strong.
