County Derry's Callum Devine signs with JC Raceteknik for 2026 ERC

Two-time Irish Tarmac Rally Champion Callum Devine has officially confirmed his return to the international stage, signing with prestigious Swedish outfit JC Raceteknik for a selected programme of events in the 2026 FIA European Rally Championship (ERC).

Following a dominant period in Irish rallying that saw the Park native secure back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024, the Park driver will pilot a top-spec Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 alongside long-time co-driver Noel O’Sullivan.

The campaign begins this weekend at the season-opening Andalucía Rally - Sierra Morena (April 17-19) in Spain.

Devine will team up with Swedes Adam Grahn and Isak Reiersen in the Škoda-powered squad for an asphalt-based ERC campaign.

Speaking ahead of this weekend's event, Devine said: “It’s always great for a driver to compete against Europe’s best on some iconic events. We’ve had great success back home in Ireland over the past few seasons, winning two Irish Tarmac Rally Championships, and we feel now is the right time to come back and take on some ERC events.
