Cronin and Fourmaux go head-to-head at the Jim Clark Rally in Scotland

Four-time BRC champion Keith Cronin will be on his first event since he took second to works driver Adrien Fourmaux in the BRC opener, the latter has since driven the M-Sport Ford Fiesta Rally2 in three rounds of the Word Rally Championship - in Mexico, Croatia and Portugal.

In terms of seat time since they both contested the opening round of the British Rally Championship some 11 weeks ago, there’s a deep chasm between Ballylickey’s Keith Cronin and Frenchman Adrien Fourmaux as they set out on the second round Jim Clark Rally in Duns, Scotland this Friday evening.

Four-time BRC champion Cronin will be on his first event since he took second to works driver Fourmaux in the BRC opener, the latter has since driven the M-Sport Ford Fiesta Rally2 in three rounds of the Word Rally Championship - in Mexico, Croatia and Portugal. Cronin puts the comparison in context. “That’s the equivalent of three full BRCs not to mention the time spent testing, it’s frightening what he has done, obviously, it’s not really a level playing field.”
