Rally driver Jon Armstrong and co-driver Shane Byrne have ended their partnership, with plans for Armstrong to race with a different navigator in 2027. Multiple outlets report the split follows two seasons together, after Armstrong moved up with Byrne to compete in the WRC’s top tier.
Motorsport.com and Yahoo Sports both frame the announcement as a forward-looking change for the 2027 World Rally Championship season, saying the pair agreed to part ways after a season at the highest level. Highland Radio similarly reports the duo’s separation ahead of the 2027 rally season, describing their prior collaboration through the MIRally Academy pathway and their results as they progressed.
