M-Sport has announced Adrien Fourmaux will pilot a Ford Puma Rally1 alongside its other full-time entrant driven by Ott Tanak at Rally Japan from 16-19 November.
Pierre-Louis Loubet won’t make the trip to Japan after a joint decision was made between the driver and the team that the Central European Rally would be his last event for the season. Loubet will compete alongside a new co-driver in Benjamin Veillas at next week’s Central European Rally.
This season the 28-year-old has impressed, winning the British Rally Championship title after winning all five of the rounds in which he entered.
Fourmaux has already emerged as a potential candidate for a 2024 Rally1 drive with the British squad, which is likely to opt for a younger driver line-up for next season.
