As for 2014 :

'After a hectic schedule Breen relaxed over the Christmas spending time watching old season reviews of the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship. “I’m a real anorak when it comes to that kind of stuff, sometimes you’d think I was born in the wrong era” smiles Breen. The smile however morphs into a deadly serious expression when he’s asked about his hopes for 2014. “I’m in the right place, with the right team and the right car. I’ll do what I’ve always done and do the best job that I can but I want to win this year. Not just rallies, but the European Championship...'

Serious ambition to be :champion:

I'm surprised to see Tomáš Pospíšilík there. He is autocross driver (6th in European championship 2013).

What a stupid idea, why not do an event with pacenotes and a proper car??

Driving without pacenotes improves your "road eye" (road reading ability), and with better "road eye" you can anticipate your driving to a blind crest a little better and be more braver... It really is not stupid idea to come to Finland and drive traditional rally stages without pace notes. I think that this will be a good experiment to Craig and a great experience! :)

Last year rally Liep?ja R2 and 2WD class winner Risto Immonen will participate in Liep?ja ERC http://www.go4speed.lv/lv/news/erc/2951 ... vu-uzvaru/

Kajto will start too - http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=16009

Will be a great rally with most of the favorites already starting + JERC!
