Craig Breen will be remembered as one of rallying's most loved characters and had his WRC career tragically cut short before it reached its prime. Obituary:
ahead of next week’s Rally Croatia has left the rally and motorsport fraternity stunned and numb. The 33-year-old Irishman’s career has been tragically cut short before it reached its prime.
There were signs from the outset of the talent that would one day grace the WRC podium. Breen quickly began to grab headlines, winning the International Ford Fiesta Sporting Trophy, which he combined with triumphs in the British and Irish series during a first full-season in rallying.
"It has been a long road for us in the World Rally Championship with many twists and turns but we have now been given a golden ticket to drive for the most prestigious marque in motorsport and fight for the World Rally Championship" The childhood dream was competed in 2016 when Breen joined the WRC’s top flight by driving for the semi-works Citroen outfit on a part-time basis.
While the stint at M-Sport didn’t work out as expected, he was much loved by the team and its founder Malcolm Wilson.
