The recent simulator sessions in the US have played a crucial role in enhancing the performance of the M-Sport Ford Puma Rally1 on Croatia’s asphalt stages last weekend. Ford, despite not operating as a full-fledged factory team in the WRC, provides support to M-Sport’s program through access to the Ford Performance Technical Centre’s simulator in America, aiding in the development of the Puma.Adrien Fourmaux attributes the significant improvement in the Puma’s pace on asphalt since the Monte Carlo opener in January to the simulator sessions. Fourmaux secured two stage wins in Croatia, including the Power Stage, amassing 13 championship points.
