Strong start in Croatia

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

M-Sport Ford World #rally Team's EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta WRCs have had a strong start to this weekend's #croatiarally – young drivers #adrienfourmaux and #gusgreensmith currently holding sixth and seventh places respectively.
 
Making his FIA World #rally Championship debut with the top-specification Fiesta, Fourmaux delivered an impressive performance – regularly outperforming his more experienced rivals and keeping in touch with the leaders through a number of speed tests.
 
Giving himself the goal of securing a handful of top-five stage times this weekend, the Frenchman already has two under his belt – and will be keen for more as he and co-driver Renaud Jamoul continue to learn and improve.
 
Gus Greensmith also delivered a strong drive through today's opening stages. Taking confidence from the experience of new co-driver Chris Patterson, the young Brit delivered a more assured performance and looked his most comfortable behind the wheel.
 
Currently holding seventh place overall, this has undoubtedly been Greensmith's best performance of the year so far. Considerably reducing the gap to the leading pack, the youngster has been enjoying his driving and will be keen for further progress as he and Patterson build their relationship.
 
Elsewhere in the #WRC 2 category, #teemusuninen was locked in an intense fight for the lead before running wide and down the side of a steep bank through the first pass of Pećurkovo Brdo – Mrežnički Novaki (SS4).  
 
Yet despite losing more than 40 seconds freeing their EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta Rally2, he and co-driver Mikko Markkula maintain podium position in third place overall.
 
There was also a strong performance from reigning FIA Junior #WRC Champion #tomkristensson through the opening stages – the young Swede locked in a fierce fight for fourth place on what is his competitive debut with the four-wheel-drive Fiesta.
 
Unfortunately however, he and co-driver David Arhusiander were forced to forgo the fight when hitting a rock and damaging the cooling package of their Fiesta through the second pass of Jaškovo – Mali Modruš Potok (SS7).
