Fermanagh’s Jon Armstrong has continued his comeback from mechanical issues on the first day of the 2025 Donegal International Rally.
He posted the fastest time on this morning’s first stage on High Glen in his M-Sport supported Ford Fiesta R2, and has now jumped from fifth to second in the overall standings.
Armstrong is now 17.3 seconds off of rally leader Callum Devine, who posted the second-fastest time on Stage 7 in his Skoda Fabia R2.
The gap between second and fifth is just one second, with Meirion Evans, William Creighton and Hayden Paddon all grouped just behind Armstrong.
Drivers are currently tackling the Lough Keel stage for the first time this weekend, before a short break ahead of the second loop of High Glen/Lough Keel, with the much-anticipated Knockalla and Garrygort loop coming up later today.
