Hi, friends!
European Rally Championship regular Jon Armstrong scored his first overall win of his career at latest ERC round called Rali Ceredigion, which is also a round of Great Britain Rally Championship.
This event is really specialised where guys with experience have bigger chances for a win then better machinery overall. We saw here that Ford Fiesta Rally2 could score 1-2 win over much better cars like Škoda, Toyota or Hyundai. But Jon Armstrong really understands this kind of event and knows where to push or brake.
Top two guys - Miko Marczyk and Andrea Mabellini are just in two points together before last round of series (when worst score point round is declined) and it started bad from beginning for Mabellini when his crew was caught at special stage and that's why got 2 minutes penalisation. After that he could score only 6th overall and that was it.
So Armstrong and Romet Jurgenson finished 1st and 2nd in identical Ford Fiesta Rally2 machineries and Miko Marczyk finished 3rd overall. Irishman William Creighton (Toyota) finished 4th while Englishman Osian Pryce was 5th in Hyundai i20 Rally2.
Congratulations to Jon Armstrong on his first ERC win...
