There's a growing expectation that M-Sport Ford WRT driver Jon Armstrong is edging closer towards a significant result in a round of the World Rally Championship and this weekend's latest iteration of the series, Rally Islas Canarias, could well bear fruition in that respect. 

His team-mate Josh McErlean has prioritised replicating the pace he showed in Croatia albeit without the misfortune that accompanied his efforts, he too will be eyeing up a season-best finish.
