M-Sport Rising Stars Gain Estonia Experience
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
M-Sport Ford World #rally Team drivers #gusgreensmith and #teemusuninen used Saturday's second leg to gain experience of #rally Estonia's new and more technical stages, while also demonstrating pace and potential in their EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta WRCs.
Suninen finished day two as he started it in sixth, while Greensmith returned to action following his Friday retirement and headed back to Tartu for the overnight halt in 33rd.
Both drivers performed consistently throughout the day's eight tests and regularly traded top-eight stage times in sweltering ambient temperatures.
Out of the fight for a top-five finish after he was delayed by a puncture and an engine-related issue on Friday, Suninen's focus today has been on preserving his season-best sixth place alongside co-driver Mikko Markkula.
And he was able to do just that to the extent he grew his margin over seventh-placed Pierre-Louis Loubet to 1m18.2s having begun SS10 this morning just 6.6s ahead of his closest rival.
After retiring with engine-related issues of his own on Friday morning, Greensmith was handed the unenviable task of starting first on the road on his return and lost time battling the reduced grip and traction as he cleared a 'racing' line for the drivers behind.
Making the most of co-driver Chris Patterson's experience and calming influence, Greensmith shrugged off the obvious disadvantage by posting a series of top-seven stage times.
In WRC2, Adrien Fourmaux overcame a spin on SS14 and a slow puncture on SS18 to complete day two 6.6s adrift of second-placed Mads Østberg and 4.7s behind Marco Bulacia in fourth. Team-mate Tom Kristensson, in an identical EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta Rally2, is a strong fifth in the category, which he's contesting as part of his prize for winning the FIA Junior WRC title in 2020.
