About me / Bio:
Craig Breen was an Irish rally driver who competed in the World Rally Championship (WRC) for various teams. He started his racing career in karting before switching to rallying in 2009. He won several championships in the Ford Fiesta Sporting Trophy series and was awarded the Billy Coleman Award for the Young Irish Rally Driver of the Year. He made his WRC debut in 2012 and won the Super 2000 WRC title that year. He also suffered a tragic loss when his co-driver Gareth Roberts was killed in a crash during the Targa Florio Rally. He continued his career with Peugeot and Citroen, achieving several podium finishes in the European Rally Championship (ERC) and the WRC. He joined Hyundai in 2019 and alternated with Dani Sordo in the team's third car. He scored his sixth and final WRC podium at the 2023 Rally Sweden, where he finished second behind Ott Tanak. He died on 13 April 2023 in a testing accident before the Croatia Rally, leaving behind a legacy of passion, talent and sportsmanship. He was widely respected and admired by his fellow drivers, co-drivers, teams and fans.
