'Despair for Craig Breen after an electrical problem delayed the Irishman on the closing stage of the CNP Asfalistiki Cyprus Rally..
The Peugeot Rally Academy driver was in sixth overall starting the final run but stopped midway through the 21.05-kilometre test. Heroic repairs by the Irishman and his British co-driver Scott Martin enabled them to reach the finish of the stage, albeit more than 16 minutes slower than stage winner Al-Rajhi. As a result Breen slips out of the top 10, losing out on vital ERC points in the process.'
So cruel, he needs this season to end and so do Peugeot - in their case for good.
Says it all ...

307 wrc now 208 t16.peugeot starts to build a good tradition!
307 WRC wasn't a bad car. The main issue besides the unsuccessful experiment with 4-speed gearbox was switching to Pirelli tyres.
We were already discussing that (I think it was in the Barum thread).
But you are right. It is strange indeed. Andreucci had many problems as well, but they didn't stop him from finishing (and winning) rallies. I don't know if you have ever seen the stages in Italy. I think they are much smoother and not as bumpy as the roads in Ireland, Czech Republic or Cyprus. Maybe on those better roads 208 T16 doesn't break?
