Hills Ford Announces 2026 Partnership with Rally Driver Jon Armstrong

Hills Ford is pleased to announce a new partnership with Irish rally driver Jon Armstrong, as his Official Vehicle Partner for the 2026 season.

The partnership comes at an exciting point in Armstrong’s career, as he prepares to compete in his first full season at the highest level of the sport with M-Sport Ford in the FIA World Rally Championship, with support from the Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy.

As part of the partnership, Armstrong will be driving a range of Ford vehicles throughout the year while working closely with Hills Ford. The collaboration will also include a number of joint activities across the season, giving customers and motorsport fans opportunities to engage with the partnership beyond the rally stages.

Over the past several years, Armstrong has built a strong reputation as one of rallying’s most consistent young drivers. He finished runner-up twice in the FIA Junior World Rally Championship, was crowned the 2018 WRC eSports Champion, and has gone on to secure multiple wins and podium finishes across Europe. In 2025, he finished second overall in the European Rally Championship, cementing his place among the sport’s leading competitors.

For Hills Ford, the partnership reflects a shared belief in long-term development and supporting talent as it reaches the next level. The business has a long-standing connection to rallying and motorsport, including its involvement in the Hills Ford Stages Rally, which is set to return in 2026.

Tim Hill, Director at Hills Ford, said:

“Jon’s journey really stood out to us. He’s worked his way through the sport step by step, earning his opportunities along the way. We’re proud to be supporting him as he takes on what will be a huge year in his career. Rallying has always been important to us at Hills Ford, and this partnership feels like a natural fit.”

Jon Armstrong added:

“I’m really excited to be working with Hills Ford for 2026. They have a genuine passion for rallying, so I’m looking forward to spending time with the team and getting behind the wheel of different Ford models throughout the year. It’s great to have their support as I take on this next challenge.”

Hills Ford will be supporting Jon throughout the 2026 season, with the entire team following his progress and backing him as he takes on this next chapter in his career. Fans and customers are encouraged to follow both Hills Ford and Jon Armstrong on social media, where exclusive content, special offers and giveaways will be announced during the year.

MTCR Marketing Ltd T/A Hills Ford is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows MTCR Marketing Ltd T/A Hills Ford to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only (FRN: 1008486)

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
