2018 WRC Esports winner Jon Armstrong recently acquired a sponsorship deal with EA Sports to secure his position in the field for the 2022 Junior World Rally Championship (JWRC).

In our podcast interview last year, Armstrong detailed how he turned to WRC Esports after his rallying career faltered due to a lack of funding and opportunities.
