The final day of Rali Ceredigion unfolded without big surprises, featuring four stages — Nant y Moch and Mynydd Bach, each run twice.
Jon Armstrong continued his dominant form, winning three out of the four stages. He maintained a strong advantage of +29.2 seconds, securing his first-ever ERC victory. An emotional Armstrong said afterwards: “It’s something you’re always working towards. We had a nice cry together on the road down here.”
It was a day of double celebration for the M-Sport team, with Romet Jürgenson finishing second overall. The podium was completed by current championship leader, Miko Marczyk, in third place.
In the Power Stage, Andrea Mabellini delivered a strong drive to claim the maximum five bonus points. He was followed by Jürgenson, Marczyk, Armstrong, and local driver Meirion Evans.
