Basically they started from the beginning how every year went and how he got his opportunities in his career. One thing was interesting that when he won WRC academy in 2011, then the prize was €500 000 which they changed in the following year because it was too big money. With that he got to some opportunities for future. Also he said that he got his opportunity to drive Hyundai because his manager (maybe it was somebody else) knew someone from Hyundai and asked if there was some possibility do make some drives for them. Also he initiated the talks with Rich and Malcolm to drive for Ford. They basically didn't discuss the Ford year at all and only said that the result was something that nobody wanted. Then some fan questions and basically was it. Nothing really new or groundbreaking but still interesting.Quote:

So now all cars are a potential winner, at least on snow.
Mr Breen, I apologize. Did not think you had it in you anymore, I was wrong!
I don't agree it is about gelling with the car.
As also other people like DF said he was most of the time at similar pace in the Puma, especially at cleaning rallies and certainly here in Sweden last year.
It seemed that he just got in a vicious circle due to what was expected of him at MSport. Adamo even claimed that he can't handle pressure. Here as a third driver the role is again completely different.
Anyway certainly great job here even with quite a few close calls. The biggest change from before was that usually after good Friday he used to fade quite a bit by Saturday evening, now he stayed in the fight.
I agree, he is no first driver material but 3rd suits him very well. It's kind if takes the pressure away from him and IMHO he lacks developing skills.
But very good rally from him.

Rumours about fatal incident for Craig on PET in Croatia.
Fence in the car.

First news article I've seen about it.
Some say Sordo.
Regardless, it seems like there's been a bad accident.
Croatian news sites report from the local police administration that there has been a fatality on PE testing today. I really hope it isn't true, but we can only wait for official news.
Oh f*ck no
unofficially Craig has died
here are pictures https://www.zagorje-international.hr...poginuo-vozac/
Can confirm from Croatia PET a very sad news that Craig Breen had fatal accident this morning, Co-driver Fulton is unharmed.
Very sad day for rally motorsport.

Statement from Hyundai Motorsport
Hyundai Motorsport is deeply saddened to confirm that driver Craig Breen today lost his life following an accident during the pre-event test for Croatia Rally.
Co-driver James Fulton was unharmed in the incident that occurred just after midday local time.
Hyundai Motorsport sends its sincerest condolences to Craig’s family, friends and his many fans.
Hyundai Motorsport will make no further comment at this time.
RIP :( can't type anything else right now
Not fair. Just not fair. Why?
I can't believe it, devastating news...
a bit more than 10 years after Roberts. May you rest in peace Craig, you'll be missed.
Absolutely gutting news.
Unbelievable, given what appears to be the circumstances. Absolutely tragic. I don't know if it's any real consolation, but with him we truly know he died for something he absolutely loved. He won't be forgotten.
And almost the same way how Jaffa died next to him in Targa Florio. Tragic sad news :(

Not trying to blame anyone but seen some pictures and looks like no protection before pole from test organizer.
You cannot put protection in front of all poles, trees or sharp objects...Quote:
