- Current WRC driver Jon Armstrong is collaborating with AC Rally development team
- Armstrong is a former WRC Esports winner and Game Designer for Codemasters
In something of a coup for Kunos and Supernova Games Studios, current WRC driver Jon Armstrong is collaborating with Assetto Corsa Rally’s development team, it was announced today (27th April 2026).
Armstrong, who drives a Rally1 Ford Puma for M-Sport in the WRC, has been providing driving feedback on the game since March, helping shape its future direction in terms of physics and handling.
Although some of Armstrong’s results have been disappointing in his debut top-class campaign, his performances have greatly impressed the paddock, especially during Rally Croatia, where the Irishman set a string of top-three stage times.
Not only does Armstrong bring years of international rally experience to the table, but he was also previously a Game Designer at Codemasters, bringing a wealth of practical development know-how to his present role.
He also has prodigious sim racing pace: Armstrong is a former WRC Esports champion (2018), and regularly uses Richard Burns Rally to prepare for real-world events.
