M-sport ford delivers strong results on Acropolis rally
The M-Sport Ford World #rally Team recorded four strong finishes at the end of the #acropolisrally, finishing the World #rally Championship's fabled Greek #event in the top five overall and with a podium finish in the WRC2 category.
In the senior team, rising stars Adrien Fourmaux and Gus Greensmith were set to continue an enjoyable battle for fifth place in their EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta WRCs but sadly misfortune struck Fourmaux and Belgian co-driver Renaud Jamoul when an engine issue needed resolving before the opening timed stage of the day, costing him a time penalty as he fixed the problem but arrived late to the time control.
This drama allowed Greensmith and his Northern Irish co-driver Chris Patterson through into a strong fifth place overall, the pair delivering a faultless day's running to reach the finish in the team's second-best result of the year.
Fourmaux's recovery drive saw him lodge the second fastest time overall on the penultimate stage as he was locked in a battle with last year's vice-champion Elfyn Evans for sixth place. Sadly, Fourmaux made a small mistake on the closing Power Stage that allowed Evans through and saw the French youngster come home in seventh place. However, with the spin removed, Fourmaux's times saw him on a level par with the fastest time through the final speed test.
Local hero #jourdanserderidis, guest star on the #msport Ford World #rally Team in a third Ecoboost-powered Ford Fiesta #wrc, also had another successful day's running. Serderidisand experienced Belgian co-driver Frederic Miclotte completed the top 10 #wrc runners and deservedly won acclaim from the large and passionate Greek fans lining the route of the #event.
In the WRC2 category, the Russian pairing of Nikolay Gryazin and his co-driver Konstantin Aleksandrov completed a thoroughly successful debut with the #msport Ford World #rally Team. The pair finished on the podium in third place for the class, having gained valuable experience of the car from which to continue their campaign through the rest of the season.
