It was a little past noon when Craig Breen went off the road somewhere in Croatia while preparing for the 4th round of the World Rally Championship scheduled for next week. An outing like there are many others. No, these modern-day knights, accustomed to familiarity with limits, are not immortal. Today Breen’s accident reminds us of that. Craig passed away at the age of 33, carried away by his passion. He joins Gareth Robertssays Jaffa, his former co-driver who died while Breen was behind the wheel more than 10 years ago in an accident at the Targa Florio rally.
Craig Breen had motorsport running through his veins. Son of Ray Breen, an Irish rallyman, the son quickly developed a passion for racing and rallying in particular. Craig loves being behind the wheel of a race car and it shows. His smile at the end of the stages, his amazed comments, brought freshness to the world of Rally. What happiness! Like this reaction during the last WRC in Sweden… After a difficult season at Ford, Craig for his return to Hyundai, set the fastest time and took the lead in the rally… Breen knew how to convey his emotions, take advantage of every moment, he who had to fight and work tirelessly to be able to express themselves at the highest level.
