RIP Ken. A true pioneer who redefined what is possible in a rally car with his gymkhana videos, that inspired a new generation of rally fans. He also gave a lot to the games industry over the years, I especially loved his influence on DiRT3.
Hi everyone,
I am working on starting the Junior WRC again this year starting in Sweden, but I’m currently short on budget.
If becoming a partner of mine and supporting my campaign is of interest to you, please get in touch.
The deadline is Friday 🙏🏻
🏆 CROATIA JUNIOR WRC WINNERS 🏆
Jon and Phil have made it through the final Croatia Rally stage to take the JWRC win by 33.5 seconds.
What a weekend! From eighth after the first stage to this - we’ll have reaction from Jon very soon!
🏆 SWEDEN JUNIOR WRC WINNERS 🏆
Speechless. What a drive. What a battle.
Jon and Brian have done enough to win Junior WRC’s opening round of 2022. They pip Joona and Korhonen by just 2.7 seconds!
Final JWRC leaderboard:
🥇 ARMSTRONG 2:24:31.1s
2 Joona +2.7s
3 Creighton +2:22.5
We’re back on track! 🤯
Pleased to say that I’ll be back in Junior WRC this year after a big effort over the course of the last week.
Thank you for the very positive reception to my post earlier in the week, which helped me gain more backing for this season.

A Scandinavian Surprise 🇸🇪🇸🇪
Excited to reveal that I will be jumping up to the European Rally Championship's top category in next month's Royal Rally of Scandinavia.
I will drive a GN Motorsport MRF Tyres Dealer Team Ford Fiesta Rally2 together with Julia Thulin.
Happy to announce I will be back where I belong in the FIA Junior WRC in 2020! 🤩
Our season gets under way at Rally Sweden in February!
Looking forward to working with M-Sport Poland again and driving the Ford Fiesta R2T2019 with Noel O’Sullivan on the notes!

🏆 YPRES JUNIOR WRC WINNERS 🏆
They’ve done it! It’s victory number two in this year’s Junior WRC for Jon and Phil!
Jon has once again proved his speed, consistency, and control this weekend to lead Ypres Rally from the first stage and seal a crucial result for his title hopes.
🥈 2021 JUNIOR WRC RUNNERS-UP 🥈
We finish Rally Spain with a fastest time on the Power Stage!
Unfortunately we miss out on the title but a huge well done to Sami and Marko on their brilliant performance to win the rally and Junior WRC title today, you've been great rivals!
Finally completed my Corgi Colin McRae Tribute Collection and what better way to do it than getting the 1995 Championship winning Subaru Impreza on the 25th Anniversary weekend!🤩
🇸🇪 Rally Sweden // Wrap-up 🇸🇪
What can I say, this one is still sinking in. Two months ago I didn’t think I would be here so to win on snow in Sweden, it’s crazy.
Brian and I worked hard this week, we had great craic along the way, I guess I am still a Fermanagh man at heart...
Front Cover of MotorSport News 🤯
A publication that was bought by my father each week without fail, I spent many an evening going through it as a youngster. So cool to feature on the front cover, thank you!
By starting Rally di Roma Capitale, I become the 2023 ERC3 Champion! 🏆
Big thanks to my sponsors and M-Sport Poland for an amazing job this year. Also to Cam and Andrew who sat beside me on the events this year.
It’s really nice to add this title to my name!
⚠️ Fuel Leak ⚠️
Brian and I had to stop on the road section before Stage 11 after smoke was coming into the car.
We tried to make some repairs but unfortunately won't be going any further today due to safety concerns.
4th overall in the Galway International Rally with the DiRT Rally Team! Huge thanks to all my supporters and sponsors on getting out, a good result in the end up! Hopefully we can get the budget to get back out...

Onboard footage of our crash here, shows how lucky we have been to walk away with only minor injuries! Testament to the safety we have in our sport now!

🏆 POLAND ERC JUNIOR WINNERS 🏆
They’ve done it again! Jon and Phil complete Rally Poland’s Warsaw street stage to provisionally take an ERC Junior win on their Rally3 debut.
🎙️“It’s a nice feeling and it is kind of strange because I have now led Junior WRC and ERC this year...
It’s brilliant to be heading back to
@fiaerc
and the stages in the Fafe region of Portugal!
Driving with the
@msportpoland
team is always a pleasure and we are targeting the best pace possible and getting a good setup with the car.
It has been a great experience to help Phil Mills do the pacenotes for DiRT Rally 2.0, I remember growing up watching my favourite driver in that era
@Petter_Solberg
and Phil winning the World Championship, so it's amazing to meet my childhood hero's and work along side them ☺️
It's a special Road Book today! Read all about how we've recorded the co-driver calls for DiRT Rally 2.0 - complete with an interview with Dialogue Producer

Rally Isla Canarias! 🤩🏆
We had some really encouraging times over the weekend. The new car performed very well and Cam done a great job all week.
Thanks to
@msportpoland
for a perfect car and team all rally. We will keep pushing 💪🏻
Not my proudest moment last night, it was my mistake and I’m sorry to everyone supporting me. I’m going into today with a clear head aiming for a clean day and try to find a good rhythm.
Rally Poland 🇵🇱 Coming up! 😍
Very pleased to confirm I will be back in the

@AzoresRallye
with Brian Hoy onboard a Ford Fiesta Rally3💥
A good opportunity to improve ourselves after a strong start to the year! Azores is a rally like no other, a challenge we are really looking forward to.
Unfortunately we got caught out under braking on SS4 of
@RIslasCanarias
and had an accident.
Myself and Brian are both fine. Sorry to the team and sponsors, we won’t be able to continue any further this time.
Time to reset and make sure these things don’t happen in the future
Rally Finish - 4th Overall! 🤩🥳
An amazing result here at Rallye Du Var which has the most beautiful roads and character!
Massive thank you to
@msportpoland
for giving me the opportunity to get back behind the wheel and show off their Ford Fiesta Rally3 Evo!
Back out behind the wheel of a real rally car tomorrow and what a car to do it with... Mini WRC car. Bit of learning to do on the first few stages but I’ll give it my best!
Thanks to everyone who helped organise this and to my partners
@dirtgame
and

Test day complete! ✅ Great to get used to the GN Motorsport Ford Fiesta Rally2 on the fast Swedish roads with Julia Thulinn on the pacenotes! 🇸🇪
We are now really excited for the event and thanks to the team and
@MRFWorldwide
for a great test day!
Flying in Sweden! ✈️ 🇸🇪
We had a great Saturday behind the wheel of the
@gnmsweden
Ford Fiesta Rally2. Our pace was really good from the first stage this morning, improving the deficit to the fastest Rally2.
⏱️ Shakedown (Klabbole, 7.6 km) - 3:47.4s
!! Fastest in JWRC !!
That’s three passes of shakedown complete for Brian and I, a nice chance to tweak our snow set-up. Everything feels good and comfortable inside the car so we’re pretty happy.

A fun and challenging rally, improved throughout and learned a lot. Great to be winning so many stages 🥇 and an amazing result for
@msportpoland
with the 🥇🥈. It was a great battle with
@samipajari
, and it’s great for his championship. It’s been fun, but now I want a burger 🍔.
Stuck out on the stage for a while today. Me and Brian just put our head down and focussed on the notes for tomorrow. Will get some rest now and hopefully be back at it tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for your support and messages 👊
🇧🇪 Ypres Rally // Wrap-up 🇧🇪
What a rally!
It feels fantastic to grab our second Junior WRC win of the year here in Belgium. We didn’t know what to expect coming into Ypres but we had really good pace early on Friday which was brilliant...
⏱️ Stage 2 (Stojdraga - Gornja Vas 1, 20.77 km) - 14:30.1s
!! Fastest in JWRC !!
After losing time behind cars on Croatia Rally’s opener, Jon and Brian grab their first stage win and jump into the Junior WRC lead. Fastest by 34 seconds on Stage 2!
Rally Portugal // Over and out
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to return for tomorrow’s Rally Portugal stages. When the car returned to service tonight our mechanics discovered it wasn’t a turbo issue but instead a terminal engine failure.
🇵🇹 Rally Portugal // Preview 🇵🇹
Recce ✔️ and it has given us a good indication of what to expect over the rally’s 338 kilometres. It’s going to be a tough one!
Friday will be quite dusty and rough. There are a lot of big rocks and no midday service makes it even more demanding.
It’s rally week! 🇸🇪
We’re so excited to drive with the GN Motorsport
@MRFWorldwide
Ford Fiesta Rally2 on these fast Swedish Stages! 👌🏻
Tomorrow we will have our all important pre event test to get comfortable with everything and find some speed with the car! 🤩
