We catch up with Jon Armstrong and Shane Byrne, Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy athletes. They will be joining the M-Sport World Rally Team in a Rally2 Fiesta to compete in all eight rounds of the 2025 FIA European Rally Championship (ERC).  

Jon and Shane chat about the year ahead and how their preparations are going for round one of the ERC, which begins in Spain on the Rally Sierra Morena (3 – 6 April). 

Before that, an entry on the upcoming West Cork Rally kickstarts their season.
