Jon Armstrong was dominant on Ypres Rally Belgium as he took a one-minute victory in Junior WRC, his second win of the season so far.

Armstrong’s Ypres Rally win never looked in doubt as he led from Friday afternoon’s opening stage. He claimed four stage wins in a row which gave the crew a commanding lead they were able to manage over the remaining two days.
 

“It feels fantastic to grab our second Junior WRC win of the year,” said Armstrong. “We didn’t know what to expect coming into Ypres but we had really good pace early on Friday which was brilliant.
 

“We were pushing quite hard on Friday so we took it back a notch for the rest of the rally. It wasn’t worth taking too many risks. In saying that though, it is always quite difficult to manage a lead for so long but I think we did a good job of that. Now it’s time to focus on Rally Spain which finishes off the season. I think this result puts us into the Junior WRC lead after dropped scores which is obviously really important for me.”
